Here's what I get in xev for a ctrl-leftclick.  With the cursor sitting 
inside of xev's window I get the following four events for hold ctrl key 
down, press left button, release left button, release ctrl key.  This is 
on a T30 that has a trackpoint and a touchpad, but the touchpad isn't 
being used here.  Debian Etch, nothing fancy (i.e., no push-to-click on 
the trackpoint, no middle-button scroll, just basic mouse functionality).

In my xorg.conf there are the expected lines:

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier      "Configured Mouse"
        Driver          "mouse"
        Option          "CorePointer"
        Option          "Device"                "/dev/input/mice"
        Option          "Protocol"              "ImPS/2"
        Option          "Emulate3Buttons"       "false"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
EndSection
