The 41.Nm 42driver provides support for some of these. 43.Pp 44The actual protocol used by the 45.Tn SPIC 46seems to vary a lot between different models; this driver has only 47been tested on the Vaio SRX77. 48.Pp 49The 50.Nm 51driver handles the jog dial and its associated buttons. They are turned 52into a 53.Nm wsmouse 54which can the be accessed in the normal way. The jog dial works as a 55scroll button, and clicking it generates a click with the "middle" button. 56.Sh SEE ALSO 57.Xr acpi 4 , 58.Xr wsmouse 4 59.Sh HISTORY 60The 61.Nm 62driver 63appeared in 64.Nx 1.6 . 65.Sh BUGS 66The 67.Nm 68driver only works with some hardware configurations. 69
