I would really like some help. Have you tried the "ChordMiddle" option in XF86Config? Some "3-button" trackballs and mice don't send a specific signal for the middle button, but they send a signal as if both the left and right buttons were pressed at the same time ("chorded"). This might work for you, but YMMV.
