OK, I'm not running F22 (yet).  I was looking into my
/var/log/Xorg.0.log file for my current laptop X11 session.  I found the
following:

This all happens (on F20) after it finds my video driver
(/dev/input/event7), power button (/dev/input/event1), lid switch
(/dev/input/event0), sleep button (/dev/input/event2), HDA Intel mic
(/dev/input/10), my Logitech USB reciever (/dev/input/event4), webcam
(/dev/input/event9), and keyboard (/dev/input/event3).

Do you see similar for your X11 session?
