Hi drew77...


I have run Linux Mint 19 up on my MacBook Pro to get to the devices.
All from memory from years ago, I am surprised they still work.

As I have previously said to access a HW device you have to run as root.
I also said one of the events do it.
And also I have said it passes binary garbage.

I have sent a screen shot showing MY 'event7' the EXTERNAL mouse and 'event14' the trackpad.

These events are multiplexed mouse and trackpad events and show ANYTHING that either does.

Yours may not be the same event numbers but try mine first and then go through them one by one. As you are reading them and NOT attempting to write then it is relatively safe to do so.

EDIT:
By root access I mean open up a root terminal, set up as such, directly from an admin account?
ISTR that many years ago one could, but of that I am probably wrong these days.

iopattern(1m)							   USER COMMANDS						     iopattern(1m)

NAME
iopattern - print disk I/O pattern. Uses DTrace. SYNOPSIS
iopattern [-v] [-d device] [-f filename] [-m mount_point] [interval [count]] DESCRIPTION
This prints details on the I/O access pattern for the disks, such as percentage of events that were of a random or sequential nature. By default totals for all disks are printed. An event is considered random when the heads seek. This program prints the percentage of events that are random. The size of the seek is not measured - it's either random or not. Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command. OPTIONS
-v print timestamp, string -d device instance name to snoop (eg, dad0) -f filename full pathname of file to snoop -m mount_point mountpoint for filesystem to snoop EXAMPLES
Default output, print I/O summary every 1 second, # iopattern Print 10 second samples, # iopattern 10 Print 12 x 5 second samples, # iopattern 5 12 Snoop events on the root filesystem only, # iopattern -m / FIELDS
%RAN percentage of events of a random nature %SEQ percentage of events of a sequential nature COUNT number of I/O events MIN minimum I/O event size MAX maximum I/O event size AVG average I/O event size KR total kilobytes read during sample KW total kilobytes written during sample DEVICE device name MOUNT mount point FILE filename (basename) for I/O operation TIME timestamp, string IDEA
Ryan Matteson DOCUMENTATION
See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with ver- bose descriptions explaining the output. EXIT
iopattern will run forever until Ctrl-C is hit, or the specified count is reached. AUTHOR
