Do they work on the linux console?

Maybe you misconfigured X-Windows. 

A non-functional <>-Key can be the result of specifying a wrong
keyboard type to X-windows, i.e. in xorg.conf you need


        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
or 
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc102"

but not pc104 or 101 (which are the US-keyboards without the <> key.

I do not know. But you could also use an external app like gucharmap.
