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.

Here's a link to their bug report:
