I have "switchable" mouse that switches between two button Microsoft
mode and three button "MouseSystems" mode.

Under Windows '95, I have the standard Microsoft mouse driver
installed, so the switch must be set to "Microsoft" mode.

However, under Linux I want three buttons, so it's set up for
"MouseSystems" mode.

The problem you're describing happens to me when the switch for
the mouse is set to two-button "Microsoft" mode under Linux.
(i.e. the mouse sends Microsoft style signals, but the driver
is expecting "MouseSystems" signals).

My guess?  Set your XWindows up for Microsoft mode and everything
should be OK.
