First thing to try is to go into the Keyboard Shortcuts menu, and try
them, with many keyboards they just work straight away.

If they don't, have a look at
<http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys>. It's written for
Gentoo, not ubuntu, but much of it still applies.

An easier way, which I personally have had some success with, is
Keytouch <http://keytouch.sourceforge.net/>, but the don't seem to
have much support for USB.

I can't quite work out your email; are you saying that you selected
your keyboard model in System>Preferences>Keyboard>Layout>Keyboard
model, and the buttons didn't work immediately; or are you saying that
you set your keyboard model, then tried System>Preferences>Keyboard
Shortcuts and they didn't show up in there?
