The joystick port on the SBLive is already enabled by default, it just
is not located at the legacy address (0x201). The register you speak of
I am guessing mirrors the port at 0x201, but this is only for DOS
compatability and is unnecessary.
I have a patch for the joystick driver at
http://quark.vpplus.com/~bgerst/linux/diff-gameport-99p1.gz which can
autodetect PCI and PnP gameports. This is probably what you are looking
for.
