compiling kernel 2.6.7

I'm compiling my kernel for additioanl support. However, I'm missing something. What selections should I choose to enable the Fn+F1 Fn+F2 on my keyboard to control the brightness. When I do a clean install of archlinux, they work automatically and very well. but now I need to choose them manually and I dont know which options I need to choose. I have an HP. this is the output of lspci:

00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device cab0 (rev 13)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc U1/A3 AGP Bridge [IGP 320M] (rev 01)
00:02.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03)

Re: compiling kernel 2.6.7

you could try it the other way around: Use the archlinux kernel configs (located in /usr/src/.config I think) and deselect the options you don't want
