In either /etc/X11/XF86Config or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, depending on your
system; inside the "InputDevice" stanza that uses driver "mouse":

# Emulate3Buttons is an option for 2-button mice
# Emulate3Timeout is the timeout in milliseconds (default is 50ms)

    Option "Emulate3Buttons"
    Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
