But I don't want to emulate a wheel button, I've got a wheel button.  I 
simply want my middle button to work, which it does not.  Or maybe I'm 
confused by the option names.

Hmm, well I wouldn't expect things to have changed the device, but I 
guess I could look at that.  Basically, I have a logitech wireless 
keyboard/mouse setup that communicate to a bluetooth usb device.

Well, I appreciate your efforts, but I don't know that the above will 
help.  I'll take a look at the docs for the two options you mentioned above.

Thanks.
