Yes, you can, but in the mode incompatible with Microsoft
( Microsoft mouse by definition has only two buttons)
Generally, you have a switch on your mouse to make it work
as MouseSystems mouse ; just write in your XFConfig86 that
you have "MouseSystems" ; restart your X
and switch your mouse ( doesn't matter when you switch it:
the smart mouse driver of XFree will understand it).
In the MouseSystems mode you will have the
normal behaviour of 3-buttoned mouse.
