One more thing -- I'll bet it's really *five* buttons.  Left, Right,
Middle, and up/down for the scroll wheel. :-)

If you can't find an option for the Logitech Mouse, try using the
"Microsoft Intellimouse" option.  This is the "IMPS/2" protocol if
you're editing XFree86Config by hand.  (If you're editing the config by
hand, you'll also need to enable the "ZAxisMapping 4 5" command to get
the scroll wheel working.)
