I not sure what you mean. As far as my experience goes, _all_ three button mice work fine with X/linux. Though having Emulate3Button on might interfere with the correct functioning of a real three-button mouse. And of course all wheel-mice work fine, with the wheel functioning as third button. My Logitech trackman marble(+) is a great trackball, and works fine in X Wouter
