I've tried xinput --set-prop 'Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse' 'Evdev Wheel Emulation Button' 3

where 3 is a variety pf numbers tried but nothing seems to get MMB emulation working on blender.

Any clues?

Further to this I've tried

Âxev -event mouse| grep Button --before-context=1 --after-context=2

and I get all the buttons (including rocking the scroll wheel left and right) but not the button Middle so I'm wondering if its being trapped somewhere.
