Accessing the third button
I'm having difficulty getting my mouse to function as I would like it to. Right now I have to emulate three buttons by simultaneously right/left clicking. The problem is that I can access a third button by clicking on the scroll wheel, and this isn't working. I checked out my xorg.conf file and the section for my mouse was:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection
I tried removing the "Emulate3Buttons" line and replaced it with a line that read:
Option "Buttons" "3"
but this didn't fix anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I would guess set Emulate3Buttons to "no". If you're going to include the option "Button", set its value to "5" since Linux probably recognizes it as a 5-button mouse.
