I don't know. The text before the line starting with "Patching" is taken
from the patch file. The patch program doesn't retrieve any files. So I
think you either used bad files to patch or bad patchfile.

You need to have the original files. To check they're correct you can
use md5 utility.

md5 vidcontrol.c
MD5 (vidcontrol.c) = 1068e5a6aff863e2bc7a0c02098d43b1
md5 vidcontrol.1
MD5 (vidcontrol.1) = 080d2b84f2e3914090279fee6e5f2406
md5 vidcontrol.diff.20050215 
MD5 (vidcontrol.diff.20050215) = 67ae12fe2a4fecae1bb7adb141efe021

You need to see the same strings.

Then command 'patch < /path/to/vidcontro.diff.20050215' must work.
