SPIC(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual SPIC(4)NAME
spic — Sony Programmable I/O Controller device driver
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 for‐
ward, backwards, up, and down inputs to “l”, “r”, “u”, and “d”, respec‐
tively. 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.

The spic device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 4.6.
