Thanks, but I did that. And X sees it. From Xorg.0.log:
[    26.560] (--) evdev: PS/2 Mouse: Found 3 mouse buttons
[    26.560] (--) evdev: PS/2 Mouse: Found relative axes
[    26.560] (--) evdev: PS/2 Mouse: Found x and y relative axes
[    26.560] (II) evdev: PS/2 Mouse: Configuring as mouse
[    26.561] (**) Option "Emulate3Buttons" "True"

But still no go!
