Not long ago I replaced a dead Logitech trackball with a Kensington Orbit
with scroll wheel. Buttons left (0) and right (2) worked, but pressing both
did not send a middle button (1) signal. The help I received here has
apparently been lost when I copied saved mail messages from the old desktop
to the new one and I don't remember how to specify pressing buttons left and
right to emulate 3 buttons nor where to put that command.

The w3school web page for testing mouse buttons told me that the left button
is seen as 0 and the right button as 2; pressing both shows as 2.

in /etc/X11/xorg.conf-vesa I have this:

# **********************************************************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section
# **********************************************************************

Section "InputDevice"

# Identifier and driver

    Identifier  "Mouse1"
    Driver      "mouse"

     Option "Protocol"    "PS/2"
     Option "Emulate3Button

I think I need a specific "InputDevice" section with
    Identifier "Kensington Orbit with scroll wheel"
...
and what else?

My web searches have not been productive.

TIA,

Rich
