configuring a 3 button mouse.

I recently upgraded my Mandriva install and now it appears that my 3
button mouse is emulating a 2 button mouse as cut/paste only works when
I select buttons 1 and 3, but not with button 2.
The middle button is a wheel and scrolling does work with it, which
leads to more confusion.
This has always 'just worked' so it's been a while since I tried to
configure this. my xorg.conf looks right (to me):
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse1"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Device" "/dev/mouse"
Option "Emulate3Buttons"
Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
Option "EmulateWheel"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
EndSection
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
