Emulate middle click with different buttons
This is isn't specifically related to Debian, but I recently have
acquired an ergonomic 3m mouse. Unfortunately, this thing only has
three mouse buttons, none of them being wheels. So, I went ahead and
and set up the middle mouse button as an emulated scroll wheel like I
have on my Thinkpad. However, now I am without a middle click and
missing it quite a bit. And, I cannot use the Emulate Middle Mouse
button (like I'm doing on my Thinkpad) because the right and left clicks
on this mouse are physically mutually exclusive!

And, I can't do shift-inserts because my keyboard doesn't have a good
Insert button :(.
So, anyways, does anyone know of another solution? Like maybe I could
emulate a middle mouse click with the middle button and the right click
button? Or maybe something fancy with xmodmap with a given click plus a
modifier? I am using Debian stable, so I'm still running normal
xfree86, if it makes a difference.
Please CC me on your response as I am not on this list. Thanks in
advance for your help!
