Not really. From what you say looks to me that the keys work, but the
action bound to them needs to be changed.
There are a bunch of utilities/deamons that can be responsible. acpid and
apmd are two of those (possibly you have acpi), but AFAIK you also need
another tool under X that will map the X keypress events to acpi events
or execute an action directly. It's been a long time when I last fiddled
with these things. 
I recommend to look at your process list and try to identify any
responsible processes for this task. For example acpid has a bunch of
scripts under /etc/acpi/, (same with apmd). You can then modify the
action for each event.
Somebody more experienced with the recent ubuntu tools might help you out.
