can you please try first running
$ LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" bash
and then, if you type `locale`, there shouldn't be any "POSIX" any more (all 
replaced by english UTF-8 locale).
then run logkeys as previously in that new bash session. what do you get?

how about if you run it
$ logkeys --start --device=event0
(only event0 without '/dev/input/')?

I have no idea why it doesn't work or where it gets the 'EEEE...' from.

Unfortunately the result is the same.
Apply changes "locale" and tried to run it with --device=event0, but the error 
is the same.
I would appreciate any alternative configuration.
Thanks for your time.

I don't know what else to try?
I see you're running from directory (./logkeys), but 'make install'-ing 
shouldn't make any difference in this case.
The program is trying to open EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE���� instead of 
/dev/input/event0, when of course it fails. I don't understand why EEE... :[ 
Sorry.

Please report if you come up with something. Ask on OpenSUSE forums or 
something.

um, if you run with --device=some_random_string, is output the same?

Yes, the output is the same. Only change the amount of characters 'E' and 
special characters remaining.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEg
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE���~�
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE����

As I imagined, I'm sorry, I don't know what is causing this.
Please try to find help and solution on your distribution's community forums.
