I'm having troubled setting middle button emulation in a new Fedora25 Workstation/XFCE installation. first I added:
Section "InputClass" Identifier "middle button emulation class" MatchIsPointer "on" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" Driver "evdev" EndSection
to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf as I have done in the past. then my notes led me to "xinput" but I can't make that work, dunno the right command ...
I find it hard to work without this feature, especially when configuring a new install so it is one of the first things I fix!
What am I doing wrong?
Have a look at http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/9973/configuring-mouse-for-rightleft...
and the very last comment for a suggestion which claims to work.

George in Memphis just jogged my memory, this is a problem that began with Fedora-24. I use a Logitech Marble Mouse, looks like a track ball to me. I have several with four buttons and one old one with two buttons. I switched to the 2-button device to solve the problem and forgot about it, put nothing in my notes either ...
Swapping the devices fixes the problem on the new Fedora-25 installationtoo!
A circuit diagram would be nice but such stuff is never available for computer hardware.
So next I will try as suggested on that page.
Thanks,
Bob
