I saw your post on the newsgroup as well. Did you try what B. Gerst mentioned?
Here’s a quote:
The SBLive joystick port is a standard gameport, but it is not located
at the legacy address (0×201). On my box, it is located at 0xc400. I
have an patch to the joystick driver which autodetects PCI and PnP
gameports:
Patch to joystick-1.2.15:
