I've made *some* progress, but still don't have this set up right (and I have to put it aside for a bit...)
First, if you are running KDE, try to use the control center - I found some potentially promising leads under the Regional & Accessibility section - specifically the Keyboard Shortcuts item. Unfortunately, using my extended keys didn't work, but maybe it will for you. Second, there are some changes to the xorg.conf file that might make a difference. By default, my box is set up for a standard 101 key keyboard. It's possible to switch this to be 104, or 105 keys. I haven't tried this yet, but suspect this *might* make a difference with the keyboard shortcuts. Third, failing all else, I think it's possible to map keycodes to certain events or key combinations. To find the keycodes of your extended keys, open a shell, and type in the command "xev" (you might need to be root for this). A window will open - arrange it so you can see the window and the shell at the same time. When the window has focus, press your multimedia or Internet keys one at a time - you'll see an event in the shell, with some details, including the keycode. My next step is to figure out how to map that keycode in xorg.conf - I've seen some samples in my search, but haven't yet had a chance to dig into this so that I understand it..... Hope this helps.
