If you can get Xorg 6.9.0 (you need the release - end of Dec 2005, not
just a release candidate), you will have another option:
  EmulateWheelTimeout.
This is excellent. You can now have a fabulous middle button which does
	Vertical scroll
	Horiz scroll
	Paste.

An older alternative is to run the tp_scroll program.
