Hi Peter
(and list)
After some digging, I found that the mapping from mouse scan code to
button number is hardcoded in the kernel driver[1], so I patched the
evdev Xorg driver to add an Emulate3Button option. It configures the
button number to emit when pressing left and right together. I

Yes, but how do I map the MB emulation to button 10, short of patching

Yes, I probably misused a couple of terms.
As you say, the middle button emulation happens in the evdev Xorg
driver, in fact it's controlled by the "Emulate3Buttons" option. The
kernel simply generates the MSC_SCAN and BTN_* codes that I pasted.
So, as far as I can tell, there are two ways to get
