Disable middle mouse button emulation by default.
The AUTO feature was the default, MB emulation was on until a middle mouse button was pressed. MB emulation however results in a delay of the first press, causing minor annoyances to the users and being generally confusing when the behaviour before a button press is different to after a button pres. Disable the feature by default instead. There's not a lot of two-button mice around anymore though and the inability to detect two-button mice makes for non-deterministic detection of when the emulation should be on. Middle button emulation can be enabled with a configuration snippet: Section "InputClass" Identifier "middle button emulation" MatchIsPointer "on" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on" EndSection Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> Acked-by: Daniel Stone <daniel@fooishbar.org>
