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. 
Sorry,

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.
