I actually changed it to Option "Emulate3Buttons" "off" after my post and it made no difference.
As to how the mouse is plugged in - I don't really know :) It is plugged in to a little socket adjacent to the usb sockets. I assume it is a PS/2 mouse. It has a different connector (little round 6 pin) to the one on the older computer which is a serial mouse. Thanks for your help anyway. I think I will try reinstalling Redhat and see what happens.
