Those keys probably (if your keyboard is anything like mine) are
associated with specific scan codes / key codes.  You can use xev to
figure out which key corresponds to which code/signal by pressing
those keys with xev in the foreground.  Then, you can bind those keys
to specific actions/commands in your window manager / desktop
environment of choice.  (For example, I have my volume up/down buttons
tied to the appropriate amixer commands.)
