I'd like to disable the 3rd button emulation in ubuntu 9.10. Normally, I'd just change the option in xorg.conf and it would go away - but how do I deal with an autodetected mouse?

For example, I've got a mouse I connect to USB and it has the emulation enabled by default. How do I change it in that case?
