Switch Mouse Buttons (Synaptics Touchpad)

My LMB is broken so I would like to know how to make it the RMB and have the RMB function as LMB. I assume I have to edit the hal policy or something and would really appreciate someone telling me what setting I need to enable.

It might be something easier than that.. I heard my friend one day telling me that, using X, you can perform an input action, such as hitting your RMB, then tell X how to handle it. So you could prolly do it that way.. or even easier first, see if theres a way of inverting it with an actual Touch Pad Control Window.

I guess your friend might be talking about xmodmap?

As for using control windows, I don't have them since I don't use a desktop environment.
