The above two lines in your X Config seem to indicate you're using the same 
drive for both the mouse and the touchpad.  Perhaps you can use a different 
driver for the touchpad?  Or maybe you can add an option to the "ALPS 
Touchpad" input device section? If so, then there may be other options you 
can "tweak" in the config...

for example, I have the following in my config:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "Auto"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping"    "4 5"
EndSection

Because I have an actual 3 button mouse, I don't need to emulate it, so that 
option was removed.  The ZAxisMapping was needed so the scroll would work 
properly.  Maybe there's an appropriate "Option" for the tap (maybe when 
you're using a different driver)?

(Take the above with a grain of salt... I don't consider myself an expert with 
X configs....)
