Emulate3Buttons is for 2 button mices. Here the problem is that your
mouse is probably one instance of the generic cheap mices that do the
micro$oft 2 buttons-only protocol by default and need some special
incantation to get a 3 button mousesystems protocol. Usually, the
incantation in question is to hold the middle button down while
initializing the driver (ie. during X server startup), or playing with
the CTS/RTS lines (see XF86Config(4) man page for details).
