SYNOPSIS¶
device spic
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.
