I was wondering a similar question.

There are many keys in my laptop with "NoSymbol", for example the
"Volume Up" key is:

KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x2000001,
    root 0x59, subw 0x0, time 3072717986, (-333,367), root:(639,399),
    state 0x0, keycode 176 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: 
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Is it possible to bind those keys to something?
