Check the config file you used to compile the kernel to see if those settings 
were already there. They were in my slack 2.6.8 kernel config ottherwise 
you'd have to do another kernel and tic the corresponding box to module when 
you in make menu(whatever) Alternatively if you could try editing your config 
file. It says "don't edit" on the first line but I've often wondered if it 
was safe  to do pre-compile

That's the one I'm still trying to nut that out. I actually seem to have some 
modules installed presumably by hotplug at boot but not all required, and 
going through the list provided by Richard yesterday, I still don't have  or 
seem have compiled from the Dvicoxxxx and cx88xxxx tarballs.... argh. I'm 
just a little bit short in knowledge/experience or I've missed something 
along the way

If I ever sort this out, and it's not by accident, I'll document it somewhere.

Have you tried the README in the root of your kernel source? That's a start, 
and there are others. Check out the "Guide to 2.6 kernel upgrade/recompile" 
thread on the Debian Forum at linuxquestions.org. When I started off with 
slack a couple years ago the linuxquestions slack forum was my primary source 
of info/help.
