I tried to keep this question off this list, but I have been patiently
waiting responses from several other sources, and they don't seem to be
panning out. I wanted to replace my old Addison trackballs with new
ones, because their action was getting quite jerky. I insist on getting
a track ball with this geometry:

Excuse my miserable graphics, but that's the best I can produce. Anyhow,
I wasn't willing to pay $90 each for Logitech models, but I found some
no-name models that claimed Microsoft compatibility and ran $20 each. My
problem is that, un XFree86, the middle mouse button won't work. I've
tried all the obvious combinations I could define from the XConfig file,
but I still couldn't get it to work. I would really like some help.
Of course, if someone said "RTFM, you fool" and included a reference to
the FM, I would be even happier. Even if it meant buying a book.
