Hello. :-)

Thanks for this bug report.

Can you please follow the procedure described here
http://code.google.com/p/logkeys/wiki/Documentation#Empty_log_file_or_%27Couldn%
27t_determine_keyboard_device&
and determine which device interfaces your keyboard.

It will likely be /dev/input/event3 or /dev/input/event4. 

Whichever it is, please add a comment here.
Then, until the next version of logkeys, run it with -d switch, e.g.
$ logkeys --start --device /dev/input/event3

:-)
