Well for 2 button mice you need to add this option to XF86Config:
Option "Emulate3Buttons"

this will allow you to press both buttons simultaneously to emulate a 
middle button.  As for the wheel mouse, you can use its wheel as a 
middle button, but you need to add an option to XF86Config as well.  I 
don't remember it off the top of my head, so do some Googling for it.
