       Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"

     EndSection

to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf as I have done in the past. then my 
notes
led me to "xinput" but I can't make that work, dunno the right command ...

I find it hard to work without this feature, especially when configuring a new 
install
so it is one of the first things I fix!

What am I doing wrong?
Have a look at
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/9973/configuring-mouse-for-rightleft-button-simulating-middle-click-for-copy-paste

and the very last comment for a suggestion which claims to work.

George in Memphis just jogged my memory, this is a problem that began with Fedora-24. I use a Logitech Marble Mouse, looks like a track ball to me. I have several with four buttons and one old one with two buttons. I switched to the 2-button device to solve the problem and forgot about it, put nothing in my notes either ...

Swapping the devices fixes the problem on the new Fedora-25 installationtoo!

A circuit diagram would be nice but such stuff is never available for computer hardware.

So next I will try as suggested on that page.

Thanks,

Bob
