graphics - How to upgrade from 10.04 without affecting touchpad settings?

I am using a Macbook Pro 8,1 (Early 2011) model. I tried installing Ubuntu 11.10, and had issues with the touchpad. I installed 10.04 LTR over the 11.10 install (I completely wiped the hard drive and then installed 10.04) and the touchpad has worked fine, however my graphics card (Intel HD Graphics 3000) is not working. It is only displaying a resolution of 1024x768 and I know my laptop can go higher than that. I read some forum posts online which said that I have the new Sandy Bridge processor and only 11.04 or newer would support it. Is there any way to upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04 and further without affecting my touchpad settings at all? Any help is appreciated-thanks.
