I have Ubuntu with all the update and stuff... The problem I'm having is very odd.... lets use couter strike source as a example... I can get in to the game just perfect, everything loads and everything is fine.. But once i start to click on my mouse, the screen flashes white....for like 1ms.... It does it every time... It also does it in Warcraft III when it opens.. .and also it does it in Google Earth.... The google earth that you can install under add and remove...
If any ideas come up from this that would be helpful.. I'm currently not running the xorg-driver-fglrx.. I'm not 100% sure what I am running- all i know is that i followed this guide at ubuntu website :

Any support or ideas would be a big help, thanks

I have only done a bit of reading on the ATI/fglrx, but it sounds to me
like you might want to use the restricted drivers for your purposes
because the open source drivers are reportedly not known for great 3d
support. Don't quote me You could try:
glxinfo | head -5
Which should tell you what driver is controlling your screen, I think.
I'm sure someone else has better ideas, just tossing that out.

Outside of completely stopping compiz and not starting it back, there is no solution working for everybody.
You might try by updating compiz, updating your video driver, shutting down options from compiz configuration but doing this you risk to end up breaking more things than it will actually solve.
If you want to keep compiz and it's typing the command that bothers you, you should look at fusion-icon (GUI tool to switch on/off compiz)

No. Compiz conflicts with Wine - don't use it. Disable it/uninstall it.
You also have to use closed source ati drivers if you want to get any performance out of your card. Open source drivers just doesn't cut it.
You could try:
