The update to 1.5.0 pulled in an upstream change to input driver loading when
no xorg is present or incomplete ServerLayouts are given. As a result, the kbd
driver is not loaded automatically if no xorg.conf is present. This combines
with the F9 patch to disable evdev keyboards - resulting in no keyboard being
available.
Yuck. This probably hits a significant number of laptop users, since
they will have emptied out their xorg.conf to work around the synaptics
issue in bug 439386.

Didn't the update mentioned above get tested at all?
As said before, xorg-x11-server-1.5.0-2.fc9 reverts the upstream
change and
kbd is now loaded automatically unless explicitly specified otherwise.
Yup, this fixes it for me.
