sorry it didn't work out for you :( I don't know anything about prism drivers but hoary has been pretty decent at figuring out the other things that I need. I still have niggles with my laptop (including the battery state), but most are due to unsupported non standard hardware (hey, it was a cheap laptop) rather than setup problems.
I don't know which distro is better for you, but I've adapted my Ubuntu to do most of the things you seem to want and it works well for me. I got the whole apache/mod_perl/mod_php business working with XAMPP [apachefriends.org]. If you want a binary, you could give that a try, I suppose. I only use the laptop as a dev environment, so a binary Apache was fine with me.
Dunno. Is there way I can help ? The forums are quite gentle, I assure you.. and even the IRC channel is pretty decent, if you want to give those a shot.
