Hello.
I'm using Xorg, and I don't have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
(everything is set by autoconfiguration on startx).
Which command do I use to tell the server to emulate the 3rd button
with button1+button2 (Emulate3rdButton)?
I looked in the manpages of xmodmap and xset but didn't find an answer
(or I didn't understand it :^)
Thanks.

a couple of lines. So maybe try using an xorg.conf with
these three lines:
Section "Pointer"
Emulate3Buttons
EndSection
If that fails there could be some hardware specific configs,
for example there is a site dedicated to thinkpads and Xorg,
maybe there is one for your pc.
