NAME
spic —
Sony Programmable I/O
Controller
SYNOPSIS
spic* at acpi?
wsmouse* at spic?
DESCRIPTION
Some Sony computers have an I/O controller that handles various interface
devices, e.g., the jog dial. The
spic driver provides
support for some of these.
The actual protocol used by the SPIC seems to vary a lot between different
models; this driver has only been tested on the Vaio SRX77.
The
spic driver handles the jog dial and its associated
buttons. They are turned into a
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.

BUGS

spic driver only works with some hardware
