The 48.Nm 49driver provides support for some of these. 50.Pp 51The actual protocol used by the 52.Tn SPIC 53seems to vary a lot between different models; this driver has only 54been tested on the Vaio SRX77. 55.Pp 56The 57.Nm 58driver handles the jog dial and its associated buttons. They are turned 59into a 60.Nm wsmouse 61which can the be accessed in the normal way. The jog dial works as a 62scroll button, and clicking it generates a click with the "middle" button. 63.Sh SEE ALSO 64.Xr acpi 4 , 65.Xr wsmouse 4 66.Sh HISTORY 67The 68.Nm 69driver 70appeared in 71.Nx 1.6 . 72.Sh BUGS 73The 74.Nm 75driver only works with some hardware configurations. 76
