 If your kernel is compiled to support it, put
# keycodes from linux/input.h
dev.mac_hid.mouse_button2_keycode = 100
dev.mac_hid.mouse_button3_keycode = 97
dev.mac_hid.mouse_button_emulation = 1

 in your /etc/sysctl.conf

 This works on my 9500-based Dayster SMP machine, and makes right-option
be middle mouse, and right-control be right mouse.  You can use other
keycodes if you like.
