This bit at the end doesn't look good:

[  3152.415] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Logitech USB-PS/2 
Trackball (/dev/input/mouse0)
[  3152.416] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.
[  3152.416] (II) This device may have been added with another device file.

So, the trackball isn't being recognized and that may hose up your
keyboard as well.

Question: Do you have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as well? If so, try
renaming it and restarting startx.
