The developer of evdev decided to no longer have Emulate3Buttons = on as the default. Now this doesn't affect the synaptics driver, and doesn't matter to anyone with a real wheeled mouse. But if, as I do, you have a laptop that uses the evdev driver, you need to edit xorg.conf - which no longer exists.
