I don't know where it's described, besides here, :) but Shift-Scroll Lock
does show_buffers() in arch/foo/mm/init.c, Ctrl-Scroll Lock does
show_state() in kernel/sched.c, Alt-Scroll Lock does show_regs() in
arch/foo/kernel/process.c, and Scroll Lock by itself pauses the output of
most programs (its original function was to replace Ctrl-S and Ctrl-Q
for sending XON and XOFF).

I don't know why it isn't working for you. I have CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y;
perhaps there's interplay with that. I'm using a 101-key PC keyboard with
US mapping.
