If you want logkeys to run on system boot, you can follow directions here.

What Segmentation fault are you talking about? Where did you encounter it?

Well I use a home-made script on ubuntu 9.10 and that is almost the same... but 
finally i make that work changing the directory on rc.local, i don't know why.

#!/bin/sh -e
# rc.local
cd /home/user/keyloger
./logkeys --start --keymap=/home/user/keyloger/es_ES.map 
--output=/home/user/keyloger/.logkeys --device=event4

I don't know... maybe a /user/local/bin exportation needed?? because Ubuntu is 
a pain in the ass on boot log, i cant remember the "segmentation fault" exactly 
but on my old Debian was something on the third line of the lang.map file, any 
file i try was the same. Anyway that work now... but what a crap solution...

Yup, it's possible that the PATH variable is missing the /usr/local/bin 
directory.

In rc.local, you don't need to cd, you can just run logkeys from that 
directory, e.g.

# rc.local
/home/user/keyloger/logkeys --start --keymap ... ← this works

Anyway, this is not a bug and shouldn't even be a problem once a deb packet is 
released.

The segfault you are referring to happened when importing invalid keymaps.
This is already fixed in the latest version.
