It depends on the make/model on the Keyboard. The extra keys on Laptop
keyboards can generate the button-presses in a number of different ways that
are specific to each type of laptop.
If it is an external keyboard, it should generate extra key generates that
aren't normally mapped. At a low-level, you can check for these with the
utility 'xev'. If you can post some extra technical details about the
keyboard, we may be able to make it work out-of-the-box with Ubuntu/GNOME.
(Once you know what the keycodes you can map them with 'xmodmap' and then
assign them to tasks with the GNOME control panel.
