I had a similar behavior in some pc's when then configured mouse was a
2/3 button ps/2 mouse and the physical device was a wheelmouse... and
viseversa.... running redhat-config-mouse/system-config-mouse can
correct the problem.... any kind of wheel mouse is always a wheel
mouse.... and should not be used configured as a 2/3 button mouse...
 
that could do the trick...
