I just compiled it into the kernel (no modules) and it worked "out of
the box". In fact, it was so easy I didn't believe it was working at
first!

Have a look at dmesg; you should see something like:


----------------------------------------------------
es1371: version v0.27 time 18:24:00 Jan 17 2001
es1371: found chip, vendor id 0x1274 device id 0x5880 revision 0x02
PCI: Found IRQ 10 for device 00:0a.0
es1371: found es1371 rev 2 at io 0xe800 irq 10
es1371: features: joystick 0x0
------------------------------------------------

If this is there your card was recognized at boot and it should be
working.
