Problem with keyboard scroll lock key

I recently changed my keyboard to a model which Is defind as:

ID 062a:0201 MosArt Semiconductor Corp. Defender Office Keyboard (K7310) S Zodiak KM-9010

in lsusb.
Before I had an old logitech G11 keyboard(In which the led worked fine) and I had set  the option "grp_led:scroll" in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf", so the led indicates the keyboard layout change.
With this new keyboard that doesn't work any more and also the led doesn't toggle on/off when I press the scroll lock key as happens with the other two(num lock and caps lock).
I've searched about this and I found 2 relative but old threads:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=175338
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=141627

From those I found that the led works fine in virtual consoles and lights on/off by pressing the key.
Also I can light it on/off manually with "xset led" command. I also found that the keyboard seems that isn't in utf8 mode and it is in some unknown mode.
I can change it manually again with:

sudo  kbd_mode -f -u

After that I can change led's state by pressing the scroll lock key, but still doesn't work as indicator when change keyboard layout.
So I'm stuck here. Is there something else I can do to make it behaves as with the old keyboard?
