Bug Description
My laptop: Lenovo Ideapad Y510.
My volume up/down is mapped to fn+left/right arrow, the brightness to fn+up/down arrow. These keys are mapped in gnome, but not KDE4. Ditto my volume slider on the right of my keyboard. I haven't tried the play/pause etc. keys, but I would presume the same thing. If there's any more information I can provide, plz ask.

I can confirm that the volume keys (Fn+F10-12) on my Asus V6J don't work. powermanager. However, that is not installed in kubuntu-kde4 by default. Could you try installing kde-guidance and running guidance- power-manager and see if the brightness keys work?
Brightness is a separate issue, as that should be taken care of by guidance-
