Have you tried running 'xev' yet, to see if the extra buttons are
generating any sort of event at all?  

I have a Logitech multimedia keyboard, and many of the buttons
generate scancodes that the kernel doesn't recognize as valid
scancodes.  From the limited research I've done, it seems the only
way to recognize these additional scancodes is to patch the kernel
(or load a module or equivalent) that will honor the extra scancodes.
