middle click doesn't paste in terminal

I can't figure out why my middle/right click doesn't paste in Xorg.
My rc.conf settings:
Code: 
# MOUSE
moused_flags="-3"
moused_port="/dev/psm0"
moused_type="auto"
moused_enable="YES"
moused_nondefault_enable="NO"
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
devd_enable="YES"

Code: 
> ps wuax | grep mouse
root         797  0.0  0.0  8020   772  ??  Ss   Thu09AM   0:30.84 /usr/sbin/moused -3 -p /dev/ums0 -t auto -I /var/run/moused.ums0.pid
root        2325  0.0  0.0 16548     0  ??  IW   -         0:00.00 hald-addon-mouse-sysmouse: /dev/ums0 (hald-addon-mouse-sy)

Couldn't find any special options in System->Preferences->Mouse or in terminal settings.
Basically I'm interested to make it working in Terminal.
Any suggestions?
 
Does the middle button work on the console?

Have a look at your /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Specifially look for Emulate3Buttons. When this option is turned on, pressing both the left and right button will act as the third button. This option is for mice that only have 2 buttons. If it's turned on turn it off.
 
Yes, both mouse buttons does work to paste, how can I activate the middle button then?
 
Changed yesterday to this:

Code: 
Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Mouse0"
    Driver         "mouse"
    Option         "Protocol" "auto"
    Option         "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
    Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "FALSE"
EndSection
Today after reboot, still the same. Right click open context menu.

In Xorg logs I've got:
Code: 
II) config/hal: Adding input device USB Optical Mouse
(II) LoadModule: "mouse"
(II) Loading /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/input/mouse_drv.so

My rc.conf settings:

moused_nondefault_enable="NO"

Your later post shows you have a USB mouse. Messing with all the defaults as above is a mistake, just remove them:

Code: 
# MOUSE
moused_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"

You're also using hal to autoconfig the mouse in X. So remove the entire mouse InputDevice section and references to it from your xorg.conf.

It shouldn't be, yes. But I ran into this a few times in the past.
 
Just a recap..

Remove all the moused entries in /etc/rc.conf if you have an USB mouse.
Remove the devd_enable="YES". It's useless.
Leave hald and dbus.

In your xorg.conf, remove all the InputDevice sections and all references to them. Since you're using HAL they are not needed anymore and will be ignored.
 
With a USB mouse, if you leave moused_enable="YES" it makes switching from X to console and back faster by several seconds. Doesn't cost anything, either, since moused is run for USB mice by default anyway. It just runs a little better this way.
