It was my understanding that the server would have to be modified and
recompiled to get this to work. So definitely NO with the server as
shipped you can use a three button mouse but the middle button will be
ignored. I know because my office-mate wanted to do this very thing and
I believe he ended up modifying the server.

What isn't clear from your posting is whether you are saying that you
built the X11R4 server and it still didn't work or just that you looked
at that source?? I don't believe anything in the kernel should keep this
from working.
