Hey,
I did check that module was loaded. And one of the signs was that my
mouse started working after insmod :).

I used printk(KERN_ALERT "some message") for logging. I also tried with
KERN_ERR but no luck. 

The command I used for building was "make -C /home/rohit/LINUX/kernels/staging  M=$(pwd)"
and for installing the modules: "sudo make -C /home/rohit/LINUX/kernels/staging  M=$(pwd) modules_install"
both were executed from the usbhid directory.
from the usbhid directory.
