/******* Eid Mubarok and greetings to all of this kernel mailing list on the occasion of the Holy Eid *********/
hi, thanx for ur quick response. Actually what i need (a part of my academic project), is just to comile ur code and load it as a module and then to see whether the bare mouse specific events occur. but the painful reality is, i failed to do so. FYI, i just a sophomore undergraduate student, and i don't find any resourse inside or outside my faculty to help me to do this. So i had to come in the kernel mailing list, though i am almost a newbie.
i tried with minor numbers other than 0. first i tried with ,inor number 1, cauze this is the number i got in /proc/misc allocated for psaux, in that file. but the result is same. now while i try to load the module, the error message is:
init_module: no such device, invalid parameters hint: invalid IO or irq number
then i arbitary tried with some other minor numbers, but the result is same. So plz help me to just load the module. as u r the author, certainly u compiled that code and load the module. so plz tell me ur parameters, i.e. the port address and major-minor number and irq number, or other hints so that i load that module. TIK
regards - Shahid
