spic
— Sony
Programmable I/O Controller
spic* at acpi?
wsmouse* at spic?
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.
The spic
driver appeared in
NetBSD 1.6.
The spic
driver only works with some
hardware configurations.
