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.

calendarserver_purge_events

CALENDARSERVER_PURGE_EVENTS(8)				    BSD System Manager's Manual 			    CALENDARSERVER_PURGE_EVENTS(8)

NAME

     calendarserver_purge_events -- Darwin Calendar Server event clean-up utility

SYNOPSIS

     calendarserver_purge_events [--config file] [--days number] [--dry-run] [--verbose] [--help]

DESCRIPTION

     calendarserver_purge_events is a tool for removing old events from the calendar server.  By default, events older than 365 days are removed,
     but the user can specify the number of days in the past to use as a cut-off.  Repeating events that have any occurrences after the cut-off
     day are not removed.

     calendarserver_purge_events should be run as a user with the same priviledges as the Calendar Server itself, as it needs to read and write
     data that belongs to the server.

OPTIONS

     -h, --help
	   Display usage information

     -f, --config FILE
	   Use the Calendar Server configuration specified in the given file.  Defaults to /etc/caldavd/caldavd.plist.

     -d, --days NUMBER
	   Specify how many days in the past to retain.  Defaults to 365 days.

     -n, --dry-run
	   Calculate and display how many events would be removed, but don't actually remove them.

     -v, --verbose
	   Print progress information.

FILES

     /etc/caldavd/caldavd.plist
	   The Calendar Server configuration file.
