ALPS touchpad problem using Synaptics 0.14 Module

Hello everybody
Iam using a Debian Sarge 3.1 with a fresh compiled 2.6.14.4 kernel
My touchpad worked as a PS/2 mouse without any special features, so I
installed the Synaptics package.

The touchpad now works fine with all the fancy features like scrolling
and tapping.
But when I click on anything like an icon by tapping, The click is
activated after a while (approximately a second).
The strange thing that this didn't happen before applying the Synaptics
module.
It also doesn't happen when I click by the left-click button.

I tried every Option in the XF86Config file with no luck.
Thanks for help ..
