The file "XF86Config" should be located in /etc/X11/. See if it's there, and if
you have read permissions to it (can't find any reason why not, but still...)
If it ain't there, you can re-create it by running one of those XF86-config
tools such as "XF86Setup" or "xf86config".
Make sure you select the right mouse type. If it's one of those generic 3 button
serial ones, try selecting "MouseSystems"
ps: you don't have to run the XF86-Config tools every time you need to change a
little feature; you can manually edit the /etc/X11/XF86Config file instead.

Unix IS user-friendly. It's just not ignorant-friendly
or idiot-friendly.
