Still no mouse or keyboard. Don't know if this is the problem.

Oh, I see you are using the nVidia drivers.  From rpmfusion?  Using the akmod-nvidia
package as well?

If you are, you need to be aware that currently there is a problem with dnf keeping the
rpmdb locked when the kmod-nvidia package for the new kernels are built.  This will also
result in them not being built during fedup.

Check the log file /var/cache/akmods/akmods.log for errors. 

A common way to fix the problem is to run this command as root....

/usr/sbin/akmods --force   and then reboot.

Well, the /dev/fb0 is not related to your keyboard/mouse problem since that device is a
"frame buffer" which is related to video.  My reason for suggesting what I did
is that I only see this error on my systems when the nVidia drivers are not installed.

What type of keyboard/mouse do you have?  PS2, USB, Bluetooth?

If you

grep "input device" /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep XINPUT

what do you get?

On one system I have a USB keyboard/mouse combination and I see...

[egreshko@meimei log]$ grep "input device" Xorg.0.log | grep XINPUT

While on my laptop I see....

But, rather than picking out bits and pieces of your Xorg log file, maybe post it
somewhere for everyone to see?
