Evdev kills X with mouse buttons

Question

Hi
I'm new to Arch so please have some patience.
I have a Logitech MX3100 mouse/kbd combo (MX1000 mouse), connected via usb
I just installed Arch yesterday and to get all my mouse buttons working I tried to use evdev, now the problem is if I use evdev, X crash instantly with any mouse button click other than button1. If I don't specify the event (as documented in the wiki) the mouse doesn't work at all.
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Evdev Mouse"
Driver "evdev"
Option "device" "/dev/input/event5"
# Option "Name" "Logitech USB Reciever"
Option "SendCoreEvents" #CorePointer"
Option "Buttons" "12"
EndSection
This is the backtrace from log

Hi Eradest,
I guess there is some confusion since it's a mouse/kbd combo, it creates 2 events, one for the keyboard og 1 for the mouse, and the tricky part is that the one for the mouse also features some extra keyboard keys.
I tried your suggestion, but still same result, if I don't specify event, then the mouse doesn't work.
If I comment out both mouse and keyboard X autodetect it and use evdev for both it seems, however then I have the problem that X crash when I click any other mouse button than button1
I've also tried using the default keyboard setting and let X autodetect it, but it makes no difference.
This is the part of my xorg.conf
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Xorg Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
# InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse" "CorePointer"
# InputDevice "Evdev Mouse" "SendCoreEvents" #"CorePointer"
# Serial Mouse not detected
# USB Mouse not detected
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Evdev Mouse"
Driver "evdev"
# Option "device" "/dev/input/event6"
Option "Name" "Logitech USB Reciever"
# Option "SendCoreEvents"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Buttons" "12"
EndSection
