Title says it all.

Also If I have a kensigton thinking mouse could I use all 4 (or even just 3
of them) buttons?

If you hold down the Right Option key and click the mouse buttion you get the
equivilant of a right mouse click (it only works with the right option, not the
left)

[How do I simulate a 3-button mouse with a 1-button mouse.]

left button = single click
middle button = Option + single click
right button = Option + 3

The right button is the strangest to get used to, because you're not
actually clicking your mouse, but you still have to use the mouse to aim
the pointer.

1. Using Logitech 3 button mouse, as a Logitech 3 button mouse.

Subject says it all,  after weeks of pain, grief, frustration, hating
everybody who kept telling me that Logitech mice work fine with 0.96bp2.
I finally got my Logitech Mouseman (3 buttons) to work.  Simply by
uncommenting the line in Xconfig for a Microsoft mouse. (Thank you whoever
posted this little snippet of advice, if only I had known).  However, I have
a 3 BUTTON mouse and would really like to use it as such.  Does anybody have
  ^^^^^^^^
a Mouseman working with 3 buttons.  Please, please tell me if you do.

Thanks (I hope) in advance,

Scott.
