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.

NAME
atp -- Apple touchpad driver SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines into your kernel configuration file: device atp device usb Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5): atp_load="YES" DESCRIPTION
The atp driver provides support for the Apple Internal Trackpad device found in many Apple laptops. Older (Fountain/Geyser) and the newer (Wellspring) trackpad families are all supported through a unified driver. The driver simulates a three-button mouse using multi-finger tap detection. Single finger tap generates a left-button click; two-finger tap maps to the middle button; whereas a three-finger tap gets treated as a right button click. There is support for 2-finger horizontal scrolling, which translates to page-back/forward events; vertical multi-finger scrolling emulates the mouse wheel. A double-tap followed by a drag is treated as a selection gesture; a virtual left-button click is assumed for the lifespan of the drag. atp supports dynamic reconfiguration using sysctl(8); through nodes under hw.usb.atp. Pointer sensitivity can be controlled using the sysctl tunable hw.usb.atp.scale_factor. Smaller values of scale_factor result in faster movement. A simple high-pass filter is used to reduce con- tributions from small movements; the threshold for this filter may be controlled by hw.usb.atp.small_movement. The maximum tolerable dura- tion of a touch gesture is controlled by hw.usb.atp.touch_timeout (in microseconds); beyond this period, touches are considered to be slides. (This conversion also happens when a finger stroke accumulates at least hw.usb.atp.slide_min_movement movement (in mickeys). The maximum time (in microseconds) to allow an association between a double- tap and drag gesture may be controlled by hw.usb.atp.double_tap_threshold. Should one want to disable tap detection and rely only upon physical button presses, set the following sysctl to a value of 2 hw.usb.atp.tap_minimum. HARDWARE
The atp driver provides support for the following Product IDs: o PowerBooks, iBooks (IDs: 0x020e, 0x020f, 0x0210, 0x0214, 0x0215, 0x0216) o Core Duo MacBook & MacBook Pro (IDs: 0x0217, 0x0218, 0x0219) o Core2 Duo MacBook & MacBook Pro (IDs: 0x021a, 0x021b, 0x021c) o Core2 Duo MacBook3,1 (IDs: 0x0229, 0x022a, 0x022b) o 12 inch PowerBook and iBook (IDs: 0x030a, 0x030b) o 15 inch PowerBook (IDs: 0x020e, 0x020f, 0x0215) o 17 inch PowerBook (ID: 0x020d) o Almost all recent Macbook-Pros and Airs (IDs: 0x0223, 0x0223, 0x0224, 0x0224, 0x0225, 0x0225, 0x0230, 0x0230, 0x0231, 0x0231, 0x0232, 0x0232, 0x0236, 0x0236, 0x0237, 0x0237, 0x0238, 0x0238, 0x023f, 0x023f, 0x0240, 0x0241, 0x0242, 0x0243, 0x0244, 0x0245, 0x0246, 0x0247, 0x0249, 0x024a, 0x024b, 0x024c, 0x024d, 0x024e, 0x0252, 0x0252, 0x0253, 0x0253, 0x0254, 0x0254, 0x0259, 0x025a, 0x025b, 0x0262, 0x0262, 0x0263, 0x0264, 0x0290, 0x0291, 0x0292) To discover the product-id of a touchpad, search for 'Trackpad' in the output of lshal(1) and look up the property usb_device.product_id. FILES
atp creates a blocking pseudo-device file, /dev/atp0, which presents the mouse as a sysmouse or mousesystems type device--see moused(8) for an explanation of these mouse types. SEE ALSO
