Bug Description
After upgrading from Hardy to Intrepid, the Enable#Button in X mouse settings is suddenly always on, even though my xorg.conf explicitly dictates otherwise:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
EndSection
This problem means that pressing the right and left mouse buttons together always generates a middle mouse button click event. This is not good for many games, such as those emulated by xmame, as they need to use the event of simultaneous left and right click besides using the middle button.
In order to reproduce, just set Emulate3Buttons to False in your xorg.conf, restart x, and see that you can still use simultaneous left and right click as a middle click.

You need to add 'Option "AutoAddDevices" "false"' to the ServerFlags -section, otherwise input-hotplug (=evdev driver) is used.
