Keyboard doesn't work in GRUB on a MacBookPro2,2 On a Core2 Duo MacBook Pro (aka MacBookPro2,2), the keyboard doesn't work in GRUB when run through rEFIt.

It does work when i attach an aditional USB keyboard, but won't work with the built-in.

    I can confirm this for a black macbook. keyboard works in refit, but only sometimes in grub.

    on my macbook, it does the same thing using lilo or when trying to enter the windows boot menu, almost like the keyboard hasnt been assigned a proper keymap...

    Same problem when using LILO.

    Does rEFIt have to wait for a certain time to get the
    USB keyboard to finish or do we need to reinit the
    keyboard after the selection?
    Maybe you have to switch into HIDBP mode again?

    (Just some ideas...)

    Same with LILO - built-in keyboard does not work, so there's no way to choose options at the lilo boot menu (MacBook Pro Core2 Duo)

    The new macbook firmware update seems to fix this for me. Anyone still interested should test the new firmware (if there is one for mocbook pro) and see if this bug is still valid.
