Programming Language for Writing Drivers?

[loopers]

May I know what the programming languages that I need to know if I wanted to develop a drivers for Linux? Is it C programming? Can I use Visual Basic?

May I know which one of the PC hardware's drivers is the easiest to write so that I can start of with that. Is it the mouse? speaker? key***rd? printer or monitor?

I am less familiar with *nix-have seen simple(minimal) driver programs in C for mouse and key***rd and monitor.

Hi,

*. The pro way: get Borland C++ Builder and use CLX Application to write for Unix platforms..

2. The 'homemade' way : get the free compiler DJGPP (C language)
