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.
               roshan

Mouse driver

[Ronit Halder]

Hi,I want to write mouse driver for linux ( usb mouse). I am reading
"Linux device driver" and "Linux kernel development". But i don't how
to start writing the driver.
So,Please help.

Best regards,
Ronit.

Ronit,
What are your reasons for writing this driver? In addition if you have 
the kernel tree lying around look under drivers/input/mouse for mouse
drivers that are in production to help you understand how to write
one better.
Good Luck,
Nick

Does it have to be a input driver? If you really want to impress your teacher and
get a better mark,try writing a basic network or usb driver.

Except that an USB or at networking driver is a few orders of
magnitude more difficult than an input driver.

While it would certainly be a wonderful achievement, it really is not
reasonable to suggest that on this list.

It was only a suggestion.  I didn't realize that was impolite on the list. I was seeing if I could help him get a better mark as sometimes in my experience they get bonus marks for writing more difficult programs in this case,  more complex drivers.

The easiest way is to take a look for your device's id in lsusb and see if the interrupt number is there for your device.

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
