Unable to detect my multimedia Keys

EHLO

I have been struggling with my multimedia Keys Pause/Start and stuffs like that. So I found out xev and used it and configure manually with Xfce or now my window-maker, but when I press it are undetectable, while others like bright and Wlan on/off does.

How do I fix this? looks like my keyboard is not recognized properly by FreeBSD?
 
It depends on the keyboard. Some USB keyboards are composite devices, with extra buttons being part of a device that is separate from the main keyboard. Some notebook keyboards have extra function keys. Which brand and model of keyboard do you have?
 
Is it on a notebook? Then give the brand and model number of the notebook. If it is a desktop keyboard, the brand and model are on the back.
 
Maybe some other client is capturing the key press events. Try xev from a clean X session:
$ xinit /usr/local/bin/xterm -- :1
