Determine time of last keystroke and mouse movement

Is there anyway for periodic (cron like) job running as root on Fedora 
10 (and up) to determine time of the last keypress and mouse movement? 
Back in the day I could look at the access time of /dev/tty7, but this 
appears to be no longer the case (even when moving to /dev/tty1 to 
account for the vt1 X shift).  Any ideas on how to determine this would 
be greatly appreciated.
