Here my story is quite the same. I have a Chicony Keyboard (KB-9885) and have had many versions of ubuntu. Most times some keys are working, but never all. I have tried keyTouch during early releases of Ubuntu, but you can only use the options they have defined. And not the other options available in the hotkey-configuration program of ubuntu.

Now I use Ubuntu 9.04 . Hotkey is at this moment succesfull in detecting each button and in predicting which fuction each key has. But after running it Ubuntu is succesfull in detecting my hotkeys, while first not!

First I run 'Gnome-keybinding-properties' this didn't sees all the buttons and exchange some of the other keys. Next I install KeyTouch-editor and KeyTouch. After running Keytouch-editor (this founds my keys without problems) and Keytouch (This don't result in more working keys...) I tried again 'Gnome-keybinding-properties' and just now it sees all my mediakeys and everything is perfect... So I am happy!

I have the following buttons:

Symbol - scancode of KeyTouch-editor
Volume Down - 153
Mute - 146
Volume Up - 163
Previous song - 162
Stop - 164
Play/Pause - 161
