Dan,
Here's my mouse driver section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "SendCoreEvents" "true"
Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
The key 'ingredient' for the middle button/roller to work is that last
option. Middle clicking to paste after have highlighted is not roller
dependent. Make sure that you do *not* have an option line:
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Having this could make your middle button useless for pasting.
