Even though your mouse works with microsoft stuff, it may not be (and probably is
not) using microsoft protocol. I suspect most use MouseSystems protocol. Mine is
an Artec mouse. In XF86Config I have the following entries in the Pointer section:
	Protocol "MouseSystems"
	Device	"/dev/mouse"

The ChordMiddle which someone else mentioned refers to the use pressing the
middle button at the same time as left or right buttons and requires that the
middle button is enabled rather than actually providing such enabling.

Good Luck,
