Unless I'm mistaken, 3 button mice generally use the Mouse Systems
protocol. I have a mouse almost like that (but with selector set to 3
button) and use:
	Protocol	"MouseSystems"
in /etc/XF86Config. (I'm using XFree3.2 but had it set up the same way in
3.1.x) I tried moused once and it worked, but haven't used it since.
