I have a Lenovo x120e and I have no problems with f17 and media keys
like volume control.
I just tried it and when I did a <func-f2> for volumeup, the volume
display popped up and with each key press, the bar went up. <func-f1>
the volume went down.
I have not checked with showkey
Yes, Fn+[..] keys work just fine. But my laptop has an extra set of keys
which are embedded in the body of the laptop (i.e. not keyboard keys) --
and those are the ones that are giving me trouble
