Free sony vaio pcg software for linux

Sony RM-X2S XMMS Plugin plugin lets you control XMMS with a Sony RM- X2S joystick. These joysticks are typically shipped with certain car radios. The use of similar devices from other vendors should be possible. The joystick is connected to the standard game port.
Installation:
Compile and install the plugin source with:
./configure
make
make install
You can supply the following options to configure:
--enable-debug
enable debugging prints
--enable-nls
enable localization
You can insert module options into /etc/modules.conf to load the joystick module automatically by make installmodule.
If you are not root, or dont want to install into the global plugin directory use make install-home to install the plugin to your private xmms directory (~/.xmms).
Setup in XMMS
- Now start xmms and get the plugin configuration panel with CTRL+p. Select the plugin and click the Configure button (picture).
- Check the device setting. If you have only one joystick port, the default of /dev/js0 should be fine. (picture)
- Calibrate the joystick. The systems needs to perform 4 measurements each lasting 2 seconds. If you press the calibration button the first measure will start and a popup window will appear after 2 seconds. (picture)
- Press the OFF Button on your Sonystick on click OK. Leave the button pressed during the measurement (2 seconds) until the text in the popup window changes
- Now the same procedure with the MUTE Button
- Now press no button on the sonystick
- Now set the precision to 5. If you experience difficulties when using the joystick (events without touching the joystick or some buttons having the same event) you can alter this setting. Lower values make the joystick more precise, thus harder to control.
- Configure the buttons. A beep indicates that an event was successfully recorded.
- Pressing the OK Button to save the configuration. Cancel will not save any changes made to the configuration.
- Finally you can enable the plugin in the XMMS preferences window.

S-Jog is a GUI for Sony VAIO Jog Wheel.
S-Jog is a program that uses the Sony Vaio laptops Jog Wheel to launch user applications, adjust the screen brightness, volume, and also to scroll pages up and down (like a mousewheel).
S-Jog pops up when you move the Jog Wheel, then disappears after 3 seconds of inactivity so that it doesnt waste desktop space.
The aim of S-Jog is to give Linux a nice graphical application to manage Jog-Dial wheel on Sony Vaio laptops. It utilizes the Sony Programmable I/O driver in recent 2.4.x kernels or the legacy SPIC driver provided in S-Jog distribution.
Currently, S-Jog is able to launch applications defined in the sjogrc file, adjust the screen brightness level and also the master volume of the sound card. Also S-Jog makes the Jog-Dial work like a mousewheel and it runs in background.
Enhancements:
- README, sjog.1: Updated doc file
