Synaptic Touchpad

I just installed Warty on a new computer that has a synaptic touchpad.
Everything works fine but I would like to change some settings and I
don't know neither if it is possible or how should I do it.

I would like to change:

* Get rid of the horizontal scroll or make it only scroll and don't go
to a previous page as it does in a web browser

* When I press the pad (I think it is call tap in??) to make a click, I
want it to be a left-click and not a middle-click as it is by default.
I want it to be the same as in windows.

* I want to make it less touch  sensible.  Right now, maybe I just touch
it with my hand when trying to write something in the keyboard (it is
really close) and suddenly my cursor moves to other place and makes me
do a lot of mistakes

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,
Santiago
