Your mouse is one with a wheel, right? YOu have set "Emulate3Buttons",
so you need to press the left and the right button at one in order
to emulate the pressing of the middle mouse button. You should be
able to press down the weel for the same purpose, just comment out
the "Emulate3Buttons" line. I don't have a xorg.conf at hand to
look how I did this, I'm using a standard three button mouse where
the middle key works as you intend it, and furthermore emulates the
wheel, much more healthy than a real mouse wheel. :-)
Maybe this section can help you:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
EndSection
Note that you won't need the last three lines, if I remember
correctly.
