Ok, I've followed the instructions on that page and here are the results:

1) Executed the following on the command line:

xev | sed -n 's/^.*state \([0-9].*\), keycode *\([0-9]\+\) *\(.*\),
.*$/keycode \2 = \3, state = \1/p'


2) Pressed the mute key (note - this is the mute key, not F2 which has
an alternate function: Fn+F2=mute):

keycode 232 = (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), state = 0x0
keycode 232 = (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), state = 0x0


3) Pressed Fn+F5 (alternate function = reduce brightness):

keycode 232 = (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), state = 0x0
keycode 232 = (keysym 0x1008ff03, XF86MonBrightnessDown), state = 0x0


Given the keycodes for (2) and (3) are identical, it looks like there is
a bug in xkeyboard-config.
