IIRC this function hasn't been called by the driver since server 1.4 or 1.5,
so it's likely this has been broken since around 2008. no reason it can't
be fixed but it's unlikely since the driver is barely maintained as it is.
we generally recommend using a kernel driver and then evtest on top.

This would suggest a configuration issue, you probably have CoreEvents off.
