Those keys probably (if your keyboard is anything like mine) are associated with specific scan codes / key codes. You can use xev to figure out which key corresponds to which code/signal by pressing those keys with xev in the foreground. Then, you can bind those keys to specific actions/commands in your window manager / desktop environment of choice. (For example, I have my volume up/down buttons tied to the appropriate amixer commands.)
