        I've had to do the following in both f14 and F15:

        To make 2-button copy/paste work in F-14 add the following
        section to: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf   -

        Section "InputClass"
              Identifier "whatever"
              MatchIsPointer "on"
              Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
        EndSection
