setxkbmap not working with x2go

Hi, I have an arch on a VPS. I'd like to connect to it via x2go. I installed x2goserver but when I open a terminal my arrow keys do not work.
If I do

 ssh -X ...

and then run

xterm

the keyboard works properly.
When I connect using x2go, the layout seems to work correctly (I have an italian layout) the only issue appears using the arrow keys.
I checked my local settings and i found that I need to set the keyboard model as 'pc105'.
I found a similar issue here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=199538 but if I follow it I get what follows, and I do not understand.

# setxkbmap -v 10 -rules xorg -model pc105 -layout it
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C
Warning! Multiple definitions of rules file
         Using command line, ignoring X server
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard model
         Using command line, ignoring X server
Warning! Multiple definitions of keyboard layout
         Using command line, ignoring X server
Trying to load rules file ./rules/xorg...
Trying to load rules file /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg...
Success.
Applied rules from xorg:
rules:      xorg
model:      pc105
layout:     it
Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes:   xfree86+aliases(qwerty)
types:      complete
compat:     complete
symbols:    pc+it+inet(pc105)
geometry:   pc(pc105)
Error loading new keyboard description

Every attempt I do I get "Error loading new keyboard description"
Do you have any suggestion? It is impossible (for me) to use the terminal without arrow keys.

Thank in advance!

P.S. I tryed also setting "Session Prefereferences">>"Input/Output">>"Configure Keyboard" but it doesn't change the behavior.
