Now you need to unplug your mouse, then plug it back in again / restart your computer (restarting X I think may also work).
Using "xinput -list", finding the number of your mouse (usually a number between 0 and 9, represented as <number>), then running:
xinput set-int-prop <number> "Middle Button Timeout" 8 0
Also works, but will not remain if you unplug then replug in your mouse / restart your computer.
So I recommend you use the mouse.fdi file above.
I've figured out the proper way to permanently fix this issue using the documentation from here: /wiki.ubuntu. com/X/Config
https:/
Create a file named mouse.fdi in your /etc/hal/ fdi/policy/ directory: fdi/policy/ mouse.fdi
gksu gedit /etc/hal/
Then paste the following in there:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding= "ISO-8859- 1"?> capabilities" contains= "input. mouse"> x11_options. Emulate3Buttons " type="string" >false< /merge>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.
<merge key="input.
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
