Question

I need to control mouse pointer of my computer screen using an external device.I just know i have to write a device driver for that device. It's a usb device.

Can anyone tell me how should i approach this problem ?

What are the modules and algorithms will be required for this?

I ll appreciate if you can provide some reference material?

Sorry for such trivial questions but am a newbie in Linux device driver area.

Read Linux Device Drivers which tells you everything you need to know. Linux includes a USB mouse driver (I'm using one right now) which should be a good reference.
