Middle Mouse Button wheel button stops working

Hi folks,

I did some thread searching and couldn't find a solution to my problem.
For quite some time, my mouse worked perfe 1f40 ctly. Now this is my problem: the middle mouse button with the wheel scrolls up and down fine but when pressed does not work. In the past, when pressed it would work wonders when doing repetitive copying and pasting and/or opening links as new tabs in firefox. This is just plain annoying.

Here is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf mouse section:

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
EndSection


Changing "Emulate3Buttons" "false" to "true" has no effect.
Hardware is a usb wireless mouse and keyboard combo.

Any ideas? Thanks.

-Bruce

Should Emulate 3 Buttons not be set to true ?

If I recall correctly, a mouse wheel counts as two buttons.

5 = Left Click, Right Click, Scroll Wheel Up, Scroll Wheel Down, Scroll Wheel Click

Try changing "ImPS/2" to "ExplorerPS/2"
