I'm having the exact same problem... after updating fedora last night. I normally browse over the updates to see what goodies may be coming... Among the updates I noticed the following three: kernel-2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.5.3-13.fc10.x86_64 xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2.1.3-1.fc10.x86_64 The X ones came with a note saying they're patching issues with the keyboard (XKBCOMP or something?). Didn't read the kernel notes. Wine wasn't updated anyway and nothing else remotely low level was updated/installed :(
