A debian source package consists of an .orig.tar.gz, a .diff.gz and 
a .dsc (which describes the source, and references the other two files). 
It sounds like you may only be downloading the .orig.tar.gz.

If you go to <http://packages.debian.org/src:mga-vid> you can download 
all three, and extract the package with 'dpkg-source -x mga-vid_*.dsc'. 
(This is just a script that extracts the tar archive and applies the 
patch).

You can do all of that automatically if you run 'apt-get source vga-mod'.
