Dick,
Check out the man pages for synclient(1) and synaptics(4). The
former is a command line tool to control the driver, which is
documented in the latter. The bulk of the information you may
want is in the driver man page, rather than the control man page.
(You need both, however.)
You should find them quite informative.
Hope this helps.
