So, everything works, except the middle button ?

Just checking, is this one in the kernel:

# grep MOUSE_SERIAL /boot/config-`uname -r`
CONFIG_MOUSE_SERIAL=y

If done as a module, you need to
modprobe sermouse

You have to try around.

If you cannot make inputattach to work, you can
. go for the old mouse driver and edit xorg.conf
. reverse engineer the protocol used and make code to handle that
