|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
Some
|
|
.Tn Sony
|
|
computers have an I/O controller that handles various interface
|
|
devices, e.g., the jog dial. The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver provides support for some of these.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The actual protocol used by the
|
|
.Tn SPIC
|
|
seems to vary a lot between different models; this driver has only
|
|
been tested on the Vaio SRX77.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver handles the jog dial and its associated buttons. They are turned
|
|
into a
|
|
.Nm wsmouse
|
|
which can the be accessed in the normal way. The jog dial works as a
|
|
scroll button, and clicking it generates a click with the "middle" button.
