>From the Red Hat group, I found that they claimed it was a result of the "acer-wmi" driver. Blacklisting this driver enabled the touchpad for me in Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10.
After blacklisting and restarting, pressing Fn-F7 once enabled the touchpad, and it was enabled on startup every time. The only annoyance to this solution is that the visuals are no longer displayed when toggling the touchpad.
