The volume keys still work. What changed is that the volume keys no longer control the hardware mixer directly anymore when you're running X. Instead the volume key events are passed to whatever X application is running. If you're running mplayer, you'll see that the volume keys still control the volume and give you feedback on the screen. If you run gnome, you'll see something similar. The problem you might experience is that the x201 boots up with the hardware mixer set to a fairly low level. And the software volume control in most X applications won't change it so you won't be able to go any higher by just pressing the volume keys.
