Run some other X program (e.g. Xterm) and press these keys. I'm willing
to bet that they'll still be intercepted.
Mrxvt interprets whatever keys are sent to it by the X server. On most
laptops (or at least on *my* laptop) the brightness keys generate ACPI
events, not keystrokes. These are handled correctly by the X server /
display driver, and pressing them results in increasing / decreasing the
brightness respectively.
The volume control keys however generate keystrokes, which are supposed
to be handled by a client application. I'm not sure what you'll do with
this on Windows, but on Linux any reasonable window manager should be
able to intercept these keystrokes. For example, I use Fvwm and the
following do the trick for me:
key XF86AudioMute A N Exec exec amixer -q set Master toggle
key XF86AudioRaiseVolume A N Exec exec amixer -q set PCM 2+
key XF86AudioLowerVolume A N Exec exec amixer -q set PCM 2-
On windows, you're on your own. (Perhaps posting to a Cygwin list might
get you someone more knowledgeable).
