Hello,
all keys on my keyboard (even such as play, forward etc.) works except of... FX keys! My keyboard is Microsoft Curve 5000. It's kinda weird that I've noticed it first after 3 months of using gentoo, when trying to switch to another card on alsamixer
Help me please anyways,
Grzegorz

So they work. The keyboard layout is probably misconfigured.
Try to log in from terminal pressing "ctrl+alt+f1" or, if it doesn't work, execute in the shell
and see if alsamixer works from there.
p.s. init 5 to go back to Xorg |

Doesn't seem to work. But I've noticed something weird when assigning key shortcuts - pressing F4-F12 didn't do anything ("it says something - sorry I don't remember what - don't recognize this key") but F1 brought "help" or "open" or something like that. |

The keycode is different (72 instead of 214) and it is recognized as F6 while yours is recognized as XF86Close, that is normally assigned to a multimedia key.
You need to change the keysyms configuration. Try modifying your Xmodmap as explained in the wiki |

Have you noticed your new "F-Lock" key? |
