The Microsoft compatible mice do not have a standardized 3-button protocol, therefore X treats it as a 2-button mouse. You can put "Emulate3Buttons" in the "Pointer" section of your /etc/XF86Config. Then you can "press" the middle button by SIMULTANEOUSLY pressing the leftmost and rightmost buttons.
