Touch pad and flsynclient adjustment causing brain fade


Hello
I have an Acer Travelmate B113-m i3 3227u and 4 gb ram at 1.9gh. I am trying to install xenialpup64 on it. It will install but with very poor touch pad working, the mouse buttons are on an active area of the touchpad so clicking a button moves the cursor off what I am trying to click on.
The touch pad is adjusted by flSynclient but its so complicated I don't understand how to adjust it.
Ubuntu, mint and fatdog64 all set up the touch pad correctly so how could I copy their flSynclient setups to xenialpup. Where are they.
Or how can I adjust flSynclient so that mouse buttons are not on an active area.
Hope this makes sense. Any help appreciated.
Thanks

I'm not sure where the config files are or what they are called, but this is a puppy 64 flavor, if you got a puppy that you can boot, then I'd boot in and rummage around until I found what files it uses to control my touchad then copy them to a medium that I can use to transfer them to the other one. even using a USB Port to mount the 64 bit one then copy it on over to that one.

belay my last, found something.
