Here is my xev output for the scroll and num lock key strokes:

Scroll lock:

    state 0x0, keycode 78 (keysym 0xff14, Scroll_Lock), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 characters:  ""

xmodmap -pm shows this:

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3        Mode_switch (0x71)
mod4        Meta_L (0x73)
mod5        Scroll_Lock (0x4e)

Maybe this it's of some use to you.
