I installed the latest F9 updates this morning via yum update. I'm running a Dell desktop. I'm using a Logitech USB keyboard and mouse. They worked fine for the last several years. I rebooted this
afternoon because my computer seemed to be running really slow.   When
I got to the graphical login screen, I found the keyboard and mouse no
longer worked.   I could not input my password.   However, I found
that ctr-F6 did work and that got me to a graphical login.   Once in a
console, my keyboard worked fine.  I rebooted several times with
different kernels.   My USB mouse and keyboard didn't work with any of
them.
Any idea how this might be fixed ? I seem to remember that yum installed a couple new X files this
morning.   Could someone tell me which files they were and how to roll
back to the previous  versions ?

You may be seeing this:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462606 which seems to be
caused by upgrading to Xorg 1.5. Note that one contributor suggests
trying a minimal xorg.conf. I haven't tried this but I'm about to.

If it doesn't work, you can regress to an earlier version of Xorg by
installing it via rpm (with the --oldpackage option). I did this
yesterday to be able to use my system. Let me know if you need help with
this.

There was a patch pushed to koji last night to fix this issue.  Check
the fedora-test-list archives for a link.  I'd give it to you, but the
message disappeared on me for some odd reason.
