This is probably something that you can fix in your BIOS. Look for a
setting like "Legacy USB keyboard support". See also:

As far as I know there is no way to enable Legacy USB keyboard support in
a Macbook. Those nifty little laptops don't have a BIOS but use EFI instead.

As I've already indicated, using EFI tools like rEFIT don't seem to affect the
problem previously described at all.
