Thanks Ian. My fault!! That is not the patch.. the patch is a few lines below..

and it's a git repository.. And yes, I haven't applied a patch in ages..

So to end this issue with my ATI card, how do I apply this patch with git?

I haven't done it before, and googling it says maybe with "git clone"
or "git apply", but there's no luck with any.. (see attachment)

Sorry, I forgot to say this is an Ubuntu 12.04, the last one, updated.
Kernel 3.2.
