I did actually come up in X with 2 xterminals when i first installed this  and 
had a play and C & P was not working then     i will have a play in Xev and

No the Logitech Marble  MOuse has 4 buttons and a big ball the 2 larger 
buttons are the standard mouse buttons the 2 smaller ones are supposed to be  
backwards and forwards  (web browser use ) the ball has no click function 
so in some respects it is a 2 button mouse (i do not use the 2 small buttons 
at all)
