Do you use a DE or a WM? Which one?

That's OK.

Is that what you actually have, ie is that the actual model of
keyboard that you use? If not, I would set it to "pc104" for a US
keyboard, or "pc105" for an international keyboard. Those are the
"Generic 104-key PC" and "Generic 105-key (Intl) PC", respectively. I
am not sure if that will help, since the multimedia keys don't register
with xev, but it might be worth a shot. Just a guess on my part, though.

Take a look at "man setxkbmap" for the gritty details.

I assume these are what you have chosen, and they should have no effect
on which keys register.

Well, *something* must have changed, since it's not working :) Did you
do an in-place upgrade, or did you reinstall?

I'm sorry I can't help more, but I don't have a deep understanding of
how X handles keyboard input.

Good luck, though.
