I have tried this, as I did in fact mention (briefly) - sorry if it wasn't
clear.

It does correctly make the right button button 3, but it *doesn't* make
chording work.  This made me guess that the chording code is at a lower
level, in the XF86 mouse drivers, and therefore it isn't affected by
xmodmap.
