problems with older version of fglrx and fglrx kernel version patch

Hi I'm having problems making a package of an older version of FGLRX with the new 2.6.20 kernel update.  Reason why I want to use an older version is <a href = "http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=26888">here</a> (sadly, ATI hasn't fixed this issue).  It appears the newest patch can't find the appropriate source files to patch, I tried switching the names of the files to the ones writting in the previous patch, but that simply fails.

I have the old binary driver, the newest install file and the  newest patch file.  Here's what I'm getting when I run makepkg:

[root@xenoarch fglrx]# makepkg

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

File to patch:
Skip this patch? [y] y

[root@xenoarch fglrx]#

Any ideas?
