Some earlier versions of Fedora including Fedora 7 had it disabled in the kernel level because of the number of complaints and bug reports we got. I am not sure there is a easy way to enable that again in those kernels. I think it was enabled again by default in Fedora 8 along with detailed instructions in the release notes to disable it which helped. That is the same for Fedora 9 too.
