I'm having troubled setting middle button emulation in a new Fedora25 Workstation/XFCE

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "middle button emulation class"
MatchIsPointer "on"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
Driver "evdev"
EndSection
to /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf as I have done in the past. then my notes
led me to "xinput" but I can't make that work, dunno the right command ...
I find it hard to work without this feature, especially when configuring a new install
so it is one of the first things I fix!
What am I doing wrong?
Have a look at
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/9973/configuring-mouse-for-rightleft-button-simulating-middle-click-for-copy-paste
and the very last comment for a suggestion which claims to work.

George in Memphis just jogged my memory,
this is a problem that began with
Fedora-24. I use a Logitech Marble
Mouse, looks like a track ball to me. I
have several with four buttons and one
old one with two buttons. I switched to
the 2-button device to solve the problem
and forgot about it, put nothing in my
notes either ...
Swapping the devices fixes the problem
on the new Fedora-25 installationtoo!
A circuit diagram would be nice but such
stuff is never available for computer
hardware.
So next I will try as suggested on that
page.
Thanks,
Bob
