Personally, I think this is a function of your laptop and not the operating system. In this case, the odds of installing an operating system which knows which specific register a specific Laptop manufacturer uses to enable or disable the touchpad, is pretty remote.
Does it/did it happen while using Windows?

Aha! Missing info which would have caused me to give a different response!
Have you changed anything in your Fedora install prior to this happening, updates, etc? If you run your system up on a live CD, does it still happen? (Use a different distro)
