Hi, I am in the same situation (although on an 8000, and never having had the keys working), and I have noted that the kernel prints out something, when I press the buttons in the console. I am to bind the key using the command `setkeycodes e001 <keycode>' it says. I am able to bind mmkeys to the keycodes i choose, when I run the commands as recommended. I suppose that the keycode is never translated at kernel-level, and thereby no signal can be generated in X. Do anyone happen to know the file, in which these keycodes are defined? I hope it helps.
