Go to the console (Ctrl-Alt-F1) and log in as root.

Now press the buttons.... if the kernel prints something in the line of
unrecognized keycode 0E ??

then you need to add these keycodes to the kernel (or ask the maintainer
of the dell patch to do it for you)

It's in <linuxsrc>/drivers/char/pc_keyb.c

Just patched my own kernel this week to support the keys on my clevo
laptop this way.
