You might try xev, to at least find out what the raw keycodes are --
presuming your X-server is handling those keys at all. Otherwise, I'm
afraid, it's an X-server configuration issue...
(I myself have an IBM keyboard with about a dozen special keys -- they
all do show up with seperate keycodes in xev, so I can bind them to
whatever I please...)
