Hello,
i recently built my computer, and whenever i play games on wine, like using Project 64 or guild wars, the screen flashes when im not in full screen. however, when i go to full screen, the flashing stops, but the computer thinks its flashing. im using ubuntu 8.10 with an ATi Radeon HD 3870 video card. i got FGLRX working but im not sure if thats the problem.
can someone help? BTW im not sure if this goes here either.

most likely an ATI drivers problem. Make sure desktop effects are off.
