mouse driver

mouse driver

[roshan mulla]

 hello,
    I am new to linux and i wish to write a device
driver for mouse using serial port. I have gone
through some basics for writing a module. But i want
to know if there is some special care to taken for
writing a mosue driver.
Can somebody guide me as how i should proceed about
writing a mouse driver.

Mouse driver

[Maikon Bueno]

Hi all...
I'm developing a serial mouse driver and I would like to know how can
I do to associate a driver with the device.
To do this driver code I followed a tutorial by Alan Cox. I used the
register_chrdev function to associate the driver with the device,
however when I issue "cat /dev/mymouse" (the mymouse device was
created using the "mknod" command with the same major number of the
driver and the module is already loaded), I got a error message.
Is there any way of to do this?
When are the open_mouse and ourmouse_interrupt functions called?

Thanks!!

mouse driver

[roshan mulla]

 hello ,
   I am trying to develop a mouse driver on linux red
hat 9 on kernel 2.4.20-8 . I am using  mouse driver
code by Alan Cox available on the web. I could
successfully compile the code .
My machine is using PS/2 mouse.i reboot the machine
with mouse removed it asks me for remove
configuration.
After this when i insmod the driver and do mknod .when
i try to open this device it gives me kernel panic
giving messages as interrupt not syncing. 
 Please can u tell me as to do i test this code . Do i
need to do some special kernel configuration for
testing this code. 
 I desperately need to test this code for my project. 
It would be very kind of u if u could help me in this
matter.
 looking forward to ur reply    
                  roshan
