Failure to downgrade Xorg

I want to downgrade to Xorg 1.13. I added the following to /etc/pacman.conf before any other repo:

[xorg113]
Server = http://catalyst.wirephire.com/repo/xorg113/$arch

And then I get:

$ sudo pacman-key --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xabed422d653c3094
gpg: requesting key 653C3094 from hkp server pgp.mit.edu
gpg: key 653C3094: public key "Vi0L0 <vi0l093@gmail.com>" imported
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:               imported: 1  (RSA: 1)
==> Updating trust database...
gpg: next trustdb check due at 2014-01-22
$ sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 0xabed422d653c3094
  -> Locally signing key 0xabed422d653c3094...
==> ERROR: 0xabed422d653c3094 could not be locally signed.

What am I doing wrong? Looking around, I found the suggestion:

$ sudo pacman-key --lsign D653C3094
  -> Locally signing key D653C3094...
==> Updating trust database...
gpg: next trustdb check due at 2014-01-22

Something was signed, though I don't know what. I don't know how this works. Anyway, when I now try to update:

$ sudo pacman -Syu
error: xorg113: signature from "Vi0L0 <vi0l093@gmail.com>" is unknown trust
:: Synchronizing package databases...

error: database 'xorg113' is not valid (invalid or corrupted database (PGP signature))

Any advice is welcome. The reason I am doing this is that I want to install the Catalyst drivers.

Re: Failure to downgrade Xorg

sudo pacman-key --populate archlinux
sudo pacman-key --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0xabed422d653c3094; sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 0xabed422d653c3094
sudo pacman -Syyu
--if you need to downgrade xorg, when the previous works properly--
sudo pacman -Rdd xorg-server; sudo pacman -S xorg-server

Good luck.
