Ive seen a recurring problem with Logtech MouseMan mice.
On some machines, when pressing and holding the middle button, the
signal that Xwindows/fvwm gets is an on,off,on,off signal.
When I hold it and move(like for a fvwm menu), its like am letting go of
the button when moving.
Has anyone had this, and know a solution?
Note, it works fine on mine. But not on other peoples faster PCs.

I've seen exactly the same problem. My guess is that it's a XF86 bug.
I've experienced this with some frequency on my 486-66 since I first
installed Slackware in April, 94.
I've never found a solution.

The mouse doesn't seem to send an actual middle button signal, but rather
sends left+right simultaneously. With this option turned off, the middle
mouse button does nothing, with it turned on, the middle mouse button
acts like it is supposed to for a while, then it starts sending these
multiple press/release signals as long as the button is pressed.
Nothing seems to reset it except for dropping the X server, but doing
a manual chord (pressing left and right buttons simultaneously) seems
to generate a single middle button event.
At first guess, I'd say it was a bug in the SVGA server.

For me disabling "chordmiddle" works exactly as Jan suggested.
It does not generate left button signals!
I too have a Logitech 3-*events.

1. Using middle button on 2-button mouse
I use a 2-button Microsoft mouse with Solaris 2.5.1 for the x86.
I run mainly X windows applications, some of which want
me to access the middle mouse button (which I don't have). Are there
ways around this? Can the middle mouse button be simulated somehow?
