I have a Logitech keyboard with similar keys.  I got them to work
(under X) by using the following method:

Run 'xev' to get the keycode.

Use 'xmodmap' to map the code to a keysym known to X.  Once I got the
commands right, I put them in my .xinitrc file.  Here's what it looks
like for me:

xmodmap -e "keycode 236 = XF86Calculator"
xmodmap -e "keycode 178 = XF86HomePage"

You can get a list of valid keysyms from

/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB

Hope this helps,
Ben
