converting device driver to STREAMS driver - SYSV 80386

I have a very simple device driver for a pointer device that uses one
ioctl GETMOVEMENT to read the current position. I would like to modify
this driver as little as possible so that I use it with the poll(2)
system call.
My questions are
1) Should I order the STREAMS Primer or STREAMS Programmer's Guide
to help me with this, or what books would help.
2) Must the device be a tty? have a read routine? be a STREAMS
module? Where can I find documentation about device driver
line discipline routines?
3) Does anyone have any sample SYSV/386 mouse driver's.
The driver right now is very simple. If possible I'd like to keep
it that way. Maybe I can fake poll(2) out and return that data is readable
every 1/x seconds, and then call the GETMOVEMENT ioctl?
thanks,
tom friedel
