Use xev to figure out what events are being sent. event_mask
mouse should be helpful.

synclient options you might try:

maxtaptime
maxtapmove
singletaptimeout
maxdoubletaptime
tapanddraggesture


and you might prefer turning off vertedgescroll and using:

circular scrolling:

circscrolltrigger and
circularscrolling

or

verttwofingerscroll

or setting
ltcornerbutton = 4
lbcornerbutton = 5

to use corners as scroll buttons
