Wow, gotta love it... The middle button on a uSoft intellimouse can act as
a third button when clicked, IIRC. I thought XFree86 even had some kind of
support for the wheel movement.

Logitech makes most of the ones I use, though. The IBM RS/6000s come with
them, but they have longer cords. If you don't mind serial mice, I'll bet
you can find a number of used Logitech C7 mice and those used to work fine
w/XFree86. - Jy@
