Last question first. kernel-source-2.4.18 is the package used for all 2.4.18
kernels, including -bf2.4. So yes, you have the right package.
I suspect you would have better results building your ATI module if you did
this:
1. Undo whatever modification you made in whichever makefile you made it.
2. Make a symbolic link to the kernel source tree:
bash:/usr/src$ ln -s kernel-source-2.4.18 linux
3. Copy the bf2.4 kernel config to the top directory of the kernel source:
bash:/usr/src/linux$ cp /boot/config-2.4.18-bf2.4 .config
4. Do "make oldconfig && make dep"
5. Build your ATI module(s).
