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 configurations.
