Thanks for reply. I took a look and do not see any xorg.conf. That file 
was always a problem for me in the earlier days when it was necessary 
and I really am hoping I don't have to do one now!

There is a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-system-setup-keyboard.conf (or 
something to that effect as I am writing from memory given the Fedora 
box is downstairs and I'm on my upstairs box)

I compared the contents to the one on one of my F16 machines and they 
are the same.
