Hi Lennart,

Yes, this is in the release notes for Natty Narwhal:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ReleaseNotes
The -evdev driver no longer provides middle mouse button emulation. 2-button mice that need this functionality are quite rare these days. The emulation mode causes a laggy pointer in cases where emulation is not needed, so this change improves responsiveness for all users. If you have a 2-button mouse that needs this, please see the directions for creating a 2-button mouse quirk. (710762) 

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Quirks#2-button%20Mice

See the directions at the bottom of the above page for how to request
enablement of the 3rd mouse button.  You can skip step #3 since this bug
report is already open, but make sure to include the info from step #4.

** Package changed: xserver-xorg-input-mouse (Ubuntu) => xserver-xorg-
input-evdev (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Wishlist

** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
