HOWTO: Enabling keyboard backlit in Linux Mint 17 Mate and Fedora 20

I have a keyboard with backlit, 'DragonWars DarkSector' the problem is no backlit in Linux operating system. 
It is hard to type using black keyboard :(

"Let there be light...."


so here is how I did it


issue this command (user level will do)

shell$ xset led 3

or map to "Scroll key" so you have a switch that turns on and off the backlit
shell$ xmodmap -e 'add mod3 = Scroll_Lock'
