What symptom are you actually seeing?  What happens when you click the
middle button, while focus is on a terminal sitting at a bash prompt,
and while something has been selected?

Do you get a mangled paste?  Do you get a correct paste, except that it's
in "inverse video"?  Do you get nothing at all?

If it's nothing at all, how sure are you that it's not a hardware problem?
Have you tried a different mouse?  Have you tried using xev to see whether
the Button2 up/down events are actually being received by the X server?
