NAME

     spic — Sony Programmable I/O Controller device driver

SYNOPSIS

     device spic

DEPRECATION NOTICE

     The spic driver will be removed in FreeBSD 12.0.

DESCRIPTION

     The spic driver allows using moused(8) to drive the Sony Vaio Jogdial device found on
     several Sony Vaio models.  It works by mapping the forward, backwards, up, and down inputs
     to “l”, “r”, “u”, and “d”, respectively.  From that a program reading the Jogdial can decide
     what to do.  Some actions might include scrolling, mimicking mouse buttons, launching
     applications, or other useful things.

SEE ALSO

     moused(8)

HISTORY

     The spic device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6.
