cmipci gameport and gravis gamepad pro

I have an AudioExcel AV-511 (cmipci using the alsa drivers) and I'm having a heck of a time getting my Gravis Gamepad Pro (or the gameport of the cmipci sound card more to the point) to show up. What kind of gameport do I have to compile support in for? I tried standard plug and play gameport with the 2.4 kernel and that says no such address etc. when I try to insmod ns558... I tried compiling it right in to the kernel but it didn't help. I've also tried the 2.5 kernel but I still don't see anything that looks like a gameport in dmesg or /proc /devices. Is there any way to get my gameport on my cmipci sound card to show up under linux (both my Gravis Gamepad Pro's work good under windows98 so I know the port is good)?

My main goal is to have my gravis gamepad pro (gameport version of the controller) working in xmame, but just a few hints if someone could give them to me to get the card to even show up in the /proc filesystem would be helpfull.

(I've read joystick.txt and input.txt and the new input homepage but I still have no luck.)
