Function Key Problem

[Sylosis]

As of this morning, none of my F1-12 keys respond to any commands (eg volume up, brightness etc etc).
Is this easily solved through some sort of system preference or is it possibly driver related?
Or is my keyboard just broken?

Ps. I got it a couple of days ago

2.16ghz blackbook
2gb
leopard

When I got my laptop switched out at the Apple store last week, the malfunctioning keys is a issue with Leopard. The rep thought the new update may fix it, but so far it hasn't helped mine at all.

is it possible the setting was changed to make them behave like F1-F12 keys directly, and not volume up/down, etc?

If you press Fn (lower left of the board) and the F keys, does anything happen then?
