No effect.
I then commented out the Option "Emulate3Buttons" "yes" line. I logged out
and back in with no effect.
I ran system-config-mouse and selected the 2 button mouse again. I
rebooted, but still the middle button works (as does the wheel).
I commented out the Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" line and rebooted, and
finally had a 2 button mouse. Unfortunately, the buttons were left and
middle. No right button.
I've since put everything back and I'm back where I started.
