Please run evtest and press the middle mouse button. Do you see any events show up?
I no longer have access to that hardware mouse
Ok, thanks. I'm closing this bug for now, please reopen if it occurs again with other hardware.
I have recovered that mouse, and it is now connected to a fully updated Fedora 16 box. lsusb shows: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 045e:0084 Microsoft Corp.

not an X bug then. Does the middle button still work on another machine/OS? My guess would be a hardware issue, I don't think the kernel broke that part.
I have not been able to get that middle button to work on any other machine/OS. I agree - it looks like the hardware just broke.
Thanks for letting us know. I'll close it as NOTABUG then.
