Ok, how I did it (when KDE control panel did not work): 1. In command line run, xev. Press the multimedia buttons and check that it responds - if it does your in luck and the buttons are useful - some keyboards need special drivers to get to some functions. Record the keycodes. 2. Create and edit a file in your home folder named < .Xmodmap > Add the keycodes and functions to perform. ie mine looks like this (boring keyboard) keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume XF86AudioMute, XF86AudioLowerVolume, etc actions are predefined. Check in </usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB> for available actions. 3. run xmodmap and check if the keys work as expected. on restart .Xmodmap is automatically loaded.
