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.

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.
