Hello everybody,

Please show me:
-which module controls current mouse ? , where is it in kernel
(source and module)
(I use PS/2 mouse , Redhat Linux 2.4.20-6)
-I know its interrupt (interrupt 12) but I don't know iis I/O Address.

I want to alter its module by changing some code .
thanks alot

i think it is /usr/src/linux/drivers/input/mousedev.c , which uses the input handler interface.

I think the driver model has changed from 2.4 -> 2.6. So a lot of the books out there are pretty dated. The best place for 2.6 kernel docs is probably still the Document directory in the source tree.

i dont know what u mean. do u mean making system calls from kernel space? ie like calling write() from a module?

thanhbk99 · 06-28-2004, 07:44 PM

ok
you 're right.

ie : write , inb , register_blkdev , spin_lock_init . . .

well now've you just confused me even more. i was asking you "do you want to make a system call from a kernel module? and by that meaning, do u want do something like write(STDOUT_FILENO, "hello from the kernel", len);" however, u just seem to want to make calls to regular functions exported by the kernel. if u read the book above u'll see how to. it's a great book, and tho it may be for the 2.4 kernel, the concepts are still valid.

i dont personally know of any other books like that, but im sure there are some. i dont really think u need much more than that, and this site: www.tldp.org . read the kernel guides there as a supplement.
