Do they work on the linux console?
Maybe you misconfigured X-Windows.
A non-functional <>-Key can be the result of specifying a wrong
keyboard type to X-windows, i.e. in xorg.conf you need
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
or
Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
but not pc104 or 101 (which are the US-keyboards without the <> key.

I do not know. But you could also use an external app like gucharmap.
