Try to use xinput for both mouse and touchpad.

xinput list
# xinput list_props "$device_name_or_number"
xinput list-props 10
Turn on three button emulation.
xinput set-prop 10 "Evdev Middle Button Emulation" 1

The problem with the touchpad is that it's seen as a PS/2 device which from 
Google is an old problem that seems to have re-appeared.

I've run

"xinput set-prop 14 "Evdev Middle Button Emulation" 1

and it's got the Left+Right mouse button click to work on my USB mouse.

How do I go about making this permenant?
