Dealing with Compiz and ATI settings

I've just reinstalled Ubuntu and I've learned the trick to get ATI to play nice with Ubuntu and allow compiz to work without a glitch.
I have an old ATI Radeon 9700 graphics card. It serves me well, and now with these settings, it really shines.
First thing I have to state to get this all to work is:
Absolutely DO NOT install the fglrx proprietary drivers for ATI regardless if a Hardware Driver prompt or icon appears on the screen. This will break this configuration and it will be harder to fix it and make things right. This is the driver that show up under System>Administration>Hardware Driver. Just so I'm clear, I'll repeat it: Don't install either of the following files,
fglrx-control
xorg-driver-fglrx
Either one of these will get you a free gift called the "White screen of death".
There are fixes for this problem or bug that may take some time and searching to resolve, but now that you've read this post you can avoid all that.

Here is all that you need to get ATI working with compiz to be able to enable all that eye candy that you always see on youtube.
Install the ATI driver found in the Synaptic Package Manager. The files that you want are called
xserver-xorg-video-ati
jockey-commom
jockey-gtk
Install them if they aren't already installed.

To enable compiz, install apt:compizconfig-settings-manager
Just click the link to allow it to auto install right now via Firefox.
You'll now be able to tweak your settings via System>Preferences>Advanced Desktop Effects Settings.

You should also install fusion-icon from the package manager so that you can easily access all your settings from a system tray icon.

Play around with the settings found in Advanced desktop effects but for starters, try enabling the Desktop cube and Cube rotation. Make sure that you have at least 4 workspaces set on your desktop and that you enable the shortcut key under CompizConfig settings>Rotate Cube>bindings>rotate cube>initiate.
