I had been using generic 3-buttons without any problems.
I use `gpm -t msc` on the text console
and for XF86config:
Section "Pointer"
Protocol "MouseSystems"
Device "/dev/mouse"
EndSection
and make sure your mouse button switch is set at 3-buttons mode.
If you don't have a switch on the mouse, you have to Microsoft Mouse
instead.
Good luck,
