Thanks for your reply Ulrich.
- "rules=base" in /etc/x2go/x2goagent.keyboard : does not improve the mapping
- setxkbmap -rules base fr : provides the message : Error loading new keyboard description
- x2go generates a keyboard config file which you can use with setxkbmap -config <filename>. I cannot check right now but in should reside somewhere in ~root/.x2go/... : I can't find such a file in ~/.x2go/ or in /etc/x2go/ There is /etc/x2go/keystrokes.cfg but it's the x2go shortcuts file Here are the files present in ~root/.x2go/ :

Hello,
I have installed X2Go (server v4.0.1.20) on a Debian Stretch (v9.2) server a few days ago.
This machine is secured at the network level, so i want to login root.
When I log in as a user, the keyboard mapping is good. But when I log in root, the arrow keys are not good : up doesn't show anything, down acts like return, and the pipe key does not show anything.
I did some search on the web, but everything I found did not work.
Connected via X2go Client to the root user :

I modified the content of the file /etc/x2go/x2goagent.keyboard like that : rules=evdev but it's always the same Some ideas:
- try "rules=base" in /etc/x2go/x2goagent.keyboard
- try setxkbmap -rules base fr
- x2go generates a keyboard config file which you can use with setxkbmap -config <filename>. I cannot check right now but in should reside somewhere in ~root/.x2go/...
