I recently upgraded my Mandriva install and now it appears that
my 3

mouse is emulating a 2 button mouse as cut/paste only works when I
select
buttons 1 and 3, but not with button 2.
The middle button is a wheel and scrolling does work with it,
which
leads
to
more confusion.
wheel work, and click not ? hum ... the middle button not working at
all ?
to test it, for example, use middle button on links of Firefox, opens
links ?
Wheel scrolls, but button does nothing on links or anything else.

seems correct , may be is not X fault ...
What else could it be??? I might hook this mouse up to another linux
box
and see if it does the same thing.
I don't think it's the driver emulating 3 buttons. Looking at the old
mouse source, it should be giving you a message like "(**) Mouse0:
Emulate3Buttons, Emulate3Timeout: 50".
Can you run xev and look for the what codes it gives you when you
press the middle button and left+middle?
Absolutely no output when pressing the middle (wheel) button.
It's quite difficult to depress the left+middle at the same time as the
wheel turns. The fact that I get nothing when the middle button is
depressed is weird. I'm beginning to wonder if I have a bad mouse?
It's not the mouse. I plugged in a wired 3 button mouse and it exhibits
the same behavior.
