If you see, mine is like this (my /etc/X11/xorg.conf)

So from that, you can see that I have various parts, the one concerned is the "InputDevice" for mouse.

I can't say what you will need to change, it's dependant on what kind of mouse you have (and I'm no expert!).

So, I'm guessing that if you happen to have similar to the bottom two lines, they are probably the ones that you should try to find out about changing. This config file (the whole thing, and not just the bit I've quoted above, was done automatically by kubuntu, but before now, I've had to add the option line for ZAxisMapping to make my scroll work - I think that there are different numbers that you can put in.

Sorry, don't know about the last line, but I should think that you can change the "Emulate3Buttons" "true" to "false", thats if you have that line in your config file.

You may find something if you look in /usr/share/doc, or search here at LQ, or failing that, http://www.google.com/linux

Apologies, that I can't be more specific, but maybe that points you in the right direction.

You don't list a distro, so it could be that there is a "distro specific" answer on how to do this i.e. modify a mouse button function. I can't say, only suggest possible directions.

KDE probably only has the facility to change what the cursor looks like. I have just looked at my system settings and thats all that I can see.

For example, this link seems to be from some sort of guide for Redhat Enterprise Linux - and suggests one way of maybe, doing what you are after, but it would seem that it is possible.

You should continue to search both here at LQ, and at googles linux section, for possible answers.

Hope this helps a little
