I know that that's the case with many of today's mice.  In fact at work,
I do use such a mouse (no Trackpoint keyboard, unfortunately), and I
hate having to use the wheel as middle button - it's just too small.
The IBM/Lenovo "Optical 3-Button ScrollPoint Mouse (800dpi) PS/2 & USB"
mouse, though, has no wheel.  Instead it has a scroll point *plus* a
middle button.  This seems to be a great concept.  However, I wonder
whether the mouse does work well with LINUX.

BTW, which model do you own?  Part number, please.

PS: If you want to do me a favor, then please put your answers after the
quoted text so that I don't have to guess what you're referring to.
