No problem, I am helping you help me after all! ;)

I've enabed experimental and upgraded my kernel;
$ uname -a
Linux athena 3.3.0-trunk-powerpc #1 Wed May 2 06:53:00 UTC 2012 ppc GNU/Linux
And the dmesg output is almost identical:
[ 123.354021] usb 4-1: new full-speed USB device number 2 using ohci_hcd
[ 123.576034] usb 4-1: New USB device found, idVendor=046d, idProduct=c52b
[ 123.576044] usb 4-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[ 123.576050] usb 4-1: Product: USB Receiver
[ 123.576055] usb 4-1: Manufacturer: Logitech
[ 123.594979] logitech-djreceiver 0003:046D:C52B.0007: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Device [Logitech USB Receiver] on usb-0001:10:1b.1-1/input2
[ 123.605999] logitech-djdevice 0003:046D:C52B.0008: hidraw1: USB HID v1.11 Device [Logitech Unifying Device. Wireless PID:101a] on usb-0001:10:1b.1-1:1
The device /dev/input/mouse1 does not exists either, and the mouse does not
work on Xorg either (I checkin all these things just in case).
I don't think this sort of device need non-free firmware, right?
I had posted this on the forum a while ago, and someone else seems to have
reproduced the same issue on the same laptop model (this is an iBook G4 as well).

Thanks for your time!
