I can't get my 3 button to work under gpm, but can under X.  It's a honeywell
mouse if that helps.  Anyway, to get it working under X, I use the command
ChordMouse (or something similar) in the XF86Config file.  Since I couldn't
get gpm to run my middle mouse button, they might use a different protocol for
it, but it can't hurt to try.
