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. Nick

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

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.

Maxime 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.

How to get the interrupt number for any device. 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. Nick
