I have an HP keyboard with "multimedia keys" and not all of them were
recognized by X or at the console. I had to use showkey(1) and
setkeycodes(8) to get anything to recognize the last few. Reading the
man pages for those commands should get you going. Also, I believe X
needs to be restarted after using setkeycodes to add a new key code
(that xev and X will recognize) for a keyboard scan code.

may good fortune be with you...
