Enabling the right click on an hp pavilion dm4 with ubuntu 12.04

I have a 14" HP Pavilion dm4 laptop and like most of my laptops, the mousepad always seems to have some type of problem at the beginning. On the dm4 my problem was that the right click didn't work. after finding an askubuntu.com question about it I found that I needed to run these three commands.
synclient RightButtonAreaRight=1
synclient RightButtonAreaBottom=1
synclient AreaBottomEdge=3500
Sadly, I can not expound really on what the synclient command does, I just know that I needed to run all three before it would work and I have to run them each time I reboot (I'll try and figure out how have it stick even after rebooting and edit this post when I do.)
