Hi,

I don't experience the same issue as you do, but since my
SEALSHIELD SSKSV208DE is relatively new, until now I didn't notice that
the scroll lock LED isn't working. It's an USB keyboard connected by an
USB to PS/2 adapter. A short googling leads to
http://www.fixya.com/support/r26610164-linux_seal_shield_keyboard which
links to
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/164245/why-is-the-scroll-lock-key-disabled-in-cinnamon-linux-xorg .
I'm using openbox on Ubuntu, as well as on Arch Linux.

The same issue happened on both installs and is solved by the same
steps.

Arch Linux:

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ xmodmap -pm
xmodmap:  up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x69)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3      
mod4        Super_L (0x85),  Super_R (0x86),  Super_L (0xce),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),  Mode_switch (0xcb)
