DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"

Key 1 - looks like an "i" with a ring in it, i think it means "information" or something. - does nothing, i get no keycode :(
Key 2 - looks like a house - 0xb2 (correctly mapped to web browser)
Key 3 - looks like a magnifier - 0xe5 (correctly mapped to search (Tracker Search Tool))
Key 4 - looks like a letter (mail) - 0xec (correctly mapped to Linux email client)
Key 5 - looks like 3 people (maybe its for instant messaging chat) - does nothing, i get no keycode :(
Key 6 - looks like a diagram graph (maybe its for finance?) - does nothing, i get no keycode :(
Key 7 - looks like 3 people and a round table (maybe its for conferencing) - does nothing, i get no keycode :(
Key 8 - looks like a guy reading the newspaper - does nothing, i get no keycode :(

When I wrote first post, I was using Ubuntu 7.10, but now I am using Ubuntu 8.04 (Alpha4+updates).
In 7.10 only 1 key worked (mail).
In 8.04 more keys work, now works 3 keys (key 2,3,4 - house/browser, magnifier/trackersearch, letter/evolutionmail).
But still some keys don't work. 5 keys don't work. Key 1,5,6,7,8.
And they don't even generate a keycode when I press them (in Keyboard Shortcuts application).
