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.
This has always 'just worked' so it's been a while since I tried to
configure this. my xorg.conf looks right (to me):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
Option "EmulateWheel"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
EndSection
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Can you the log so we can see what's going on? My guess is the device
isn't using the mouse driver like you think it is.
I think you're onto something. I see this:
(==) The core pointer device wasn't specified explicitly in the layout.
Using the first mouse device.
I've attached both my xorg.conf and the log for further insights.

It looks like it's using the right settings, but now you have
"Emulate3Buttons" "no". From your log:
(**) Option "Protocol" "auto"
(**) Mouse0: Device: "/dev/input/mice"
(**) Mouse0: Protocol: "auto"
(**) Option "CorePointer"
(**) Mouse0: Core Pointer
(**) Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
(**) Option "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
(**) Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
(**) Mouse0: ZAxisMapping: buttons 4 and 5
(**) Mouse0: Buttons: 9
Perhaps you should change that to "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"?
I don't think so. I don't want to emulate 3 buttons as I have 3
buttons. I'm pretty sure Emulate3Buttons is what you use when you have
a two button mouse and you want to be able to use button 1 and 2 to
emulate a center button.
