Default I have questions about configuring my touchpad

Ok, so I installed openbsd a couple days ago. My laptop's touchpad works but doesn't have two-finger scrolling, and didn't have tap to click/select functionality.

Last night I switched to current flavor, and today I decided to tackle trying configure the touchpad.

I came across this post, which recommends configuring through synaptics and copying

/usr/X11R6/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf

to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf to make the actual changes:

Then I found a different post about new defaults in X, and that the current flavor no longer will support synaptics, so the new way that is recommended is to use wsconsctl and wsmouse0:
http://openbsd-archive.7691.n7.nabbl...-td332278.html

I was able to get tap to select working with the wsconsctl/wsmouse0 method but can't figure out how to get horizontal and vertical 2 finger scrolling working which is why I want to try configure with synaptics...

My questions are:
1. Which method should I use to configure my touchpad?
2. will anything bad happen if I configure with synaptics while using current? (seems easier than wsmouse0)
3. If I have to configure wsconsctl and wsmouse0, do I make the configurations in this file?
/usr/include/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h

Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance. Please excuse me if they are dumb questions I have only been an openbsd user for a week or so.
