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

HISTORY

       The spic device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6.
