Title:
  Kensington Trackball EmulateMiddleButton disabled; only 2 buttons

Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The Kensington Orbit Trackball is a USB device with two physical
  buttons, a scroll ring, and the ball. By default EmulateMiddleButton
  is disabled, but should be enabled as there is no third button.

  The only reason I'm reporting this is that I really really like this
  device - I've been searching for a good trackball most of my career,
  and this is the best I have found.
