Do they produce output in xev ?
The email and web buttons do but the media player button has no effect. I mapped the other two to vol up and down using system prefs | keyboard shortcuts in the gui now I just need to find out why there is no input from the media player button.
In which case you should be able to just map them to the functions you want in (preferences) (keyboard shortcuts)
If they don't then you need to have a hunt for specific support for your laptop, what make/model is it ?
The laptop is a Clevo model M76T I bought it sans operating system from eBuyer, its a great laptop really quick and everything else has just worked in Ubuntu. It would e great if I could just hit a single button instead of doing fn+f3 which currently assigned to XF86AudioMute.
Might be hardware related but I doubt it.
