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...)
