Emulating 3 buttons on a 2 button mouse

[Rick Thomas]

I have the same question, but for a system that won't be using X11 -- just
the text console.

I have a Kensington two button ADB "Turbo Mouse" that I'd like to use with
GPM -- the text console selection cut-and-paste utility.

There's a file called /etc/sysconfig/mouse-emulation  Does anybody know what
the various parameters in it mean, and what their possible values are?  Is
this documented somewhere?

Does that file set things that bear on the question of how to use my
2-button mouse with GPM?

Thanks for any help you can provide...
