I have Genius Ergomedia 700 USB keyboard but not all "multimedia" keys 
are working. In manual it's written that "My document/My picture/My 
music/Scrolling buttons/Left and right scrolling functions/Zoom in/Zoom 
out/Messenger/Messenger status/Webcam/Audio 1-3/Word/Excel/Powerpoint do 
not function unless driver has been installed". And exactly those keys 
do not working while other multimedia keys are working fine.
What can be done to enable those additional multimedia keys?

please compile your kernel with CONFIG_HID_DEBUG, modprobe the hid module 
with 'debug=1' parameter, and send me the dmesg output that appears when 
you connect the keyboard, and also when you press the individual buttons. 
Please annotate the output (i.e. "this happened when I pressed the XYZ 
key").

Here is debug output with my comments in attachment. I was gathering it 
with hid.debug=1 kernel param and also with setting 
/sys/module/hid/parameters/debug because my hid module is compiled into 
kernel but it's the same as you suggested, I think.
