Hi, I am using Fluxbuntu, but I would imagine any of you Fluxbox users might have an answer for me too. :)
My keyboard is working fine, however, there are a lot of other buttons on the keyboard (volume, mute, copy, paste, play, stop, etc) that worked in Windows but don't work in Flux. What is the best way to get these working? Thanks!

Depends on if they're even recognized...the "FN" key on my old laptop isn't, for example.

You can use "xev" (I think it's in the repos) to figure out the keycodes, but I'm not quite sure what to do beyond that.

xev and xmodmap i believe will get the job done... redsquirrel has a great guide on this in the forums already, you could probably do a forum search for "fluxbox keys" and find it
