Dell Latitude D830 - minor issues since upgrade to 3.11.4

Kernel upgrade to 3.11.4 killed my XF86AudioRaiseVolume XF86AudioLowerVolume XF86AudioMute buttons - also the battery symbol/charge state is not shown anymore.

It seems like the KeyCodes changed, as when I open cinnamon and try to change the hotkeys and press the extra buttons, I get RaiseVolume instead of XF86AudioRaiseVolume (same for Down and Mute) but they still do not work as supposed.

xmodmap -pk

also tells me that the non XF86-prefixed one does not even exist.

xev |grep Raise

does not output anything, which in turn means the hotkey is not recognized, though

xev

in gives one of these blocks for any (!) of the 3 audio buttons.

turn FocusOut event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2400001,
    mode NotifyGrab, detail NotifyAncestor

FocusIn event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x2400001,
    mode NotifyUngrab, detail NotifyAncestor

KeymapNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  2   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

but the 2 is not fixed, it varies in time (but not between keys!)

For the missing battery symbol, really no clue.

If anybody got any news or ideas I am more than happy to give them a whirl.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Note: This has happened once before (I think it was 2.6.30-ish) but to be honest I can not recall how I fixed it :S

Kernel 3.11.6 fixed it again...
