Here is how to do it

The easiest was will be to install the package http://atrpms.net/dist/f9/synaptics/
or you can do it manually here

edited the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Added the following to the ServerLayout Section
InputDevice “TouchPad” “CorePointer”

add a new section:
Section “InputDevice”
Driver “synaptics”
Identifier “TouchPad”
Option “SendCoreEvents”
Option “Protocol” “auto-dev”
Option “SHMConfig” “on”
Option “TapButton1″ “1″
Option “TapButton2″ “2″
EndSection

all done logout and login again and everything should be working fine

Update: found the rpm package here
