Emulate3Buttons not working

[yoyoned]

As long as I have been using linux , I've been able to emulate a 3 button mouse by clicking the left and right button at the same time. I just started running Fedora 9 preview this week and emulating the third button doesn't work.

I really miss it. Using the third button to paste text is very handy, but I especially miss in in firefox where clicking on a link with the third button opens the link in a new tab.

My xorg.conf did not have an entry for a mouse so I added the following:

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

grep -i mouse /var/log/Xorg.0.log yeilds the following:

(==) |-->Input Device "Configured Mouse"
(II) LoadModule: "mouse"

So, it seems to me that it thinks it's emulating the third button, but it's not.

Any help?
