Judging from what's in the repositories, the 64bit Puppies all seem to be using Flsynclient version 0.7, while the 32bit ones have version 0.6 available, too. I found an 0.6 version for Quirky April and installed it on Xenial64 7.5 (here is another one), and the program did at least start up - and looked different from Xenial's original one. Since I have no touchpad, I couldn't actually test if it worked, and it wouldn't even let me look at any tabs except the first one so I couldn't check if the options you are looking for are there.

On xenialpup synclient has a line: VertEdgeScroll =1
How would I disable that in xenialpup,.
If you are seeing that 'line', you are probably looking at /root/.flsynclient, or should be... Change it to VertEdgeScroll =0 and save the file. On running flsynclient -s or restarting the change should show up. .flsynclient is a hidden file so you have to allow your FM of choice to show those of course.
Pups currently in kennel :D Older LxPupSc and X-slacko-4.4 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupSc64 and upupEF for me. All good pups indeed, and all running savefiles for look'n'feel only. Browsers, etc. solely from SFS.
