I'm still using 6.8 and middle button works. What doesn't work is  
scrolling left-right. I managed to get the movement but it was also  
sending a keypress event for the middle button. Anyway, here's my  
xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
         Identifier     "Default Layout"
         Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
         InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
         InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
         Identifier  "Mouse0"
         Driver      "mouse"
         Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
         Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
         Option      "SendCoreEvents" "on"
         Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
         Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
         Option      "EmulateWheel" "yes"
         Option      "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
EndSection


Hope this helps.
