I first tried USB Overdrive but this software would not recognise my Logitech G9. As a result the G9 was restricted to its MacOSX default 2-button operation. This G9 is a multi-button high speed gamer mouse intended for Windows only.
SteerMouse's default settings were spot on. So this G9 will be a good replacement for my MX Revolution and MX-1000 mice which both were suspected of causing hard hangs of the Mac Pro. Maybe it was the Logitech Control Center which caused my problems. Time will tell if the substitution has been worthwhile.
What can I say? SteerMouse has no problems that I can detect. A good utility indeed.

Works well with Logitech G9 - Ocker
Sorry I seem to have double-posted.I need to add to my comments.
I decided I wanted to return to using the MX Revolution. I had begun to dislike the G9. I found a problem with Steermouse in that it lacks an uninstaller. After installing my new Logitech MX Revolution and software, the System Prefs pane could not find the MX and my MacOSX Dock stopped being accessible. In addition, Finder menu behavior was unstable. Trashing Steermouse's System Prefs pane and preferences, still left me with the same problems. After manually trashing the steermouse.kext file in the MacOSX's System Extensions, the problems went away.
I still recommend Steermouse but it badly needs an uninstaller.
