(i) Find out what key codes these keys generate.
Vaguely I seem to recall that I made these keys produce 125, 126, 127.
(the test command is "showkey")

(ii) Use loadkeys to assign functions to keys.
For example,
% loadkeys
keycode 125 = Incr_Console
keycode 126 = Decr_Console
keycode 127 = Last_Console
^D
should give you the desired behaviour.
Perhaps you lost some settings during an upgrade.

See loadkeys(1) and keytables(5).
