I've just installed Ubuntu 11.10 (but this problem also appears at 11.04), on my HP g62 laptop, and unfortunately none of the function keys work.
Volume, brightness etc, how can I made them work under Ubuntu?

Currently it is impossible to map the FN keys. Therefore, two utilities for mapping alternative keys are needed so that screen brightness can be adjusted. From terminal:
sudo apt-get install xbacklight
Download Ubuntu Tweak from here and install it. Now open Ubuntu Tweak (Application -> System tools) go to the appropriate section (Personal -> Shortcut) and set the combination that you want for example
Ctrl+Up
xbacklight -inc 10
Ctrl+Down
xbacklight -dec 10
To increase and decrease the screen's brightness
