The gameport is enabled in BIOS Setup.
When I do lsmod, I get this line:

According to this page
here which although being a little old says you need to have the
adi module loaded to support it so try
modprobe adi as root and if they are not loaded automatically the
joydev and
ns558 modules as well. Then install the joystick package and use
jstest /dev/js0 then start hitting the buttons to see if it works.
