I'm having troubled setting middle

Driver "evdev"
EndSection
to
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

led me to "xinput" but I can't make
that work, dunno the right command ...
I find it hard to work without this
feature, especially when configuring
a new install
so it is one of the first things I fix!
What am I doing wrong?
Have a look at
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/9973/configuring-mouse-for-rightleft-button-simulating-middle-click-for-copy-paste
and the very last comment for a
suggestion which claims to work.

Doing as suggested corrects the problem:
adding a file
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-3rdbutton.conf
with the following content:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "middle button"
MatchIsPointer "on"
MatchDriver "libinput"
Option "MiddleEmulation" "on"
EndSection
Fixes 3 button emulation and I can copy
and paste conveniently again, a lot less
clicking around!
First I tried making that change in
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf
but it did not work.
My impression from what I have read is
that this function is disabled for the
convenience of game players for whom the
pressing of both buttons implements
other functions. I think that's unfair
if it is so, it should be optional from
a menu ...
