That does not really work for me. EmulateWheel works but the third button
doesn't work anymore.
According to this message, this is the expected behaviour:
http://www.mail-archive.com/devel@xfree86.org/msg03333.html
The patch in that message fixes the problem apparently but I'm not in the
mood to recompile X11 right now (after all there's a reason why I don't use
Gentoo ;))

I assume you also have another InputDevice configured using the Synaptics
driver, right?
