Do you have -emulate3buttons set on your server?  If so, you need to press 
buttons 1 and 2 (left and right) at the same time to emulate the 
middle/third button.

It doesn't sound like this is what you want, so make sure you're not 
starting X with this parameter (check your startup script).

Otherwise, what type of mouse and mouse driver do you have?  Some drivers 
will change the behavior of the middle button so X doesn't recognize it.
