Richard,

Yes, this is exactly what I want to do. Right now mine does this:
Left => Left
Right => Right
Middle => Scroll & Paste
Left+Right => Paste

Here is my XFree86Config entry for the mouse:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Configured Mouse"
	Driver		"mouse"
	Option		"CorePointer"
	Option		"Device"		"/dev/psaux"
	Option		"Protocol"		"PS/2"
	#Option          "Buttons"               "5"
         #Option		"ZAxisMapping"		"4 5"
	Option		"Emulate3Buttons"	"on"
	Option		"Emulate3Timeout"	"50"
	Option		"EmulateWheel"		"on"
	Option 		"EmulateWheelButton"	"2"
	#Option 		"ChordMiddle"         	"2"
EndSection

Note: I have tried this also with the commented out options as well and 
have the exact same results. This only started happening after moving to 
the 2.6.0-test5-bk8 & bk9 kernels.
