This is a new mouse, so I'm not sure if its new udev/hal/xorg fault. udev just keeps switching the G500 as mouse and then keyboard and overload my Xorg.log. The mouse only works if there is no keyboard present. So either the G500 works or the keyboard, not together. dmesg|grep Logitech input: Logitech G500 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/2-1.1:1.0/input/input3 generic-usb 0003:046D:C068.0001: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Logitech G500] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.1/input0 input: Logitech G500 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/2-1.1:1.1/input/input4 generic-usb 0003:046D:C068.0002: input,hiddev0,hidraw1: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [Logitech G500] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.1/input1 input: Logitech HID compliant keyboard as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.0/input/input5 generic-usb 0003:046D:C30E.0003: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [Logitech HID compliant keyboard] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.2/input0 input: Logitech HID compliant keyboard as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.2/2-1.2:1.1/input/input6 generic-usb 0003:046D:C30E.0004: input,hidraw3: USB HID v1.10 Device [Logitech HID compliant keyboard] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.2/input1 input: Logitech G500 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/2-1.1:1.0/input/input8 generic-usb 0003:046D:C068.0005: input,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Mouse [Logitech G500] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.1/input0 input: Logitech G500 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.1/2-1.1:1.1/input/input9 generic-usb 0003:046D:C068.0006: input,hiddev0,hidraw1: USB HID v1.11 Keyboard [Logitech G500] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.1/input1 lsusb -v Bus 002 Device 038: ID 046d:c068 Logitech, Inc.

Well, assigning to udev. Hopefully, they can figure it out.
The CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED needs to be enabled in the kernel. Device Drivers ---> USB Support ------>[*] ECHI HCD (USB 2.0 Support) -------->[ ] Root Hub Transaction Translators -------->[*] Improved Transaction Translator Scheduling (EXPERIMENTAL) but it is still recognized as a keyboard, and the special keys can't be configured
How is this with modern Kernel like 3.7, with >=sys-fs/udev-197-r2, without HAL and with latest xf86-input-evdev? Reopen if you still have issues. Thanks.
Similar problem arised there with genkernel 3.10.7-r1 and Logitech Gaming Mouse G600. It works only if keyboard id detached. Please reopen ^^ X log errors: [ 35.460] (EE) evdev: Logitech Gaming Mouse G600: Unable to open evdev device "/dev/input/event2".

Fixed in 3.10.7-r1 by CONFIG_USB_EHCI_TT_NEWSCHED=y as well (was disabled in default genkernel)
