I don't have a linux system handy, but on a Sun type 4 keyboard:

  Key Label Keysym
  ========= ======
  Sys_Req: Don't have a key with this label, but between
               Scroll Lock and Pause, I have PrSc which is "Print".
  Scroll_Lock: F32
  Pause: F21

You wan't to get and use "xkeycaps". You need to know the keysym the
key generates. If for some reason you can't get xkeycaps, "xev" is a
poor substitute.

Happy keyboarding.
