A few weeks back, I had installed Fedora 10 onto my netbook, and during some of my updates I had some issues that resulted in me trying to get to a terminal by pressing ctrl+alt+Fx buttons. Then after making some changes, all of a sudden my touchpad wasn't working. I spent a couple days trying to get other things to work while using an optical mouse, so I didn't really care too much. Then I noticed that when I running the live version of Moblin (prior to installing it) that the mouse touchpad was still not working, which led me to believe it was a hardware issue, I had taken the case apart to upgrade the RAM.
Long story short... after a few hours of research, I found that pressing Fn+F7 fixed the issue. I must have accidentally pressed it when trying to switch to a terminal during troubleshooting.
Assuming that someone may actually have this same issue and runs across my blog... perchance, they will only feel like a little bit of an idiot, rather than the complete idiot that I felt like... unless of course it took you 3 hours to find my blog. Hope I helped.
