Try launching the Keyboard Shortcuts application in Gnome, and press the key you want for the shortcut you want.

Hi,I am in the same situation (although on an 8000, and never having had the keys working), and I have noted that the kernel prints out something, when I press the buttons in the console. I am to bind the key using the command `setkeycodes e001 <keycode>' it says. I am able to bind mmkeys to the keycodes i choose, when I run the commands as recommended.I suppose that the keycode is never translated at kernel-level, and thereby no signal can be generated in X. Do anyone happen to know the file, in which these keycodes are defined?I hope it helps. Anders Breindahl.
