I decided to test Psychonauts because I felt bad that I bought the game a year ago for about 3 Euro, and I had not played it at all. Testing This test was done in a clean wine prefix and the game was played in a Virtual Desktop. The testing was done with a genuine European copy (It's already patched to the latest version of the game). System Specs: Operating System: Ubuntu 8.04 Wine version: 1.0-rc2 with 3DMark patch applied. Video Card: Nvidia 8800GTS 640MB CPU: Intel E6550 2,333 GHZ Memory: 2 gb RAM Installation First off, you have to cd to your dvd directory in a terminal, in my case it look like this: david@david-desktop:~$ cd /media/cdrom0 and then you start the installation program by typing "wine setup.exe", in my case it look like this: david@david-desktop:/media/cdrom0$ wine setup.exe  The game needs a native d3dx9_36.dll to work, simply download it from here, unzip and place the dll in your game folder. Playing the game To start the game, you can either direct cd to the game directory via the terminal, and start the game by typing "wine Psychonauts.exe", or you can just start it from your startmenu (Program -> Wine -> Programs -> Double Fine Productions -> Psychonauts -> Psychonauts)  Performance boosters If you want to enhance performance, the you can add WINEDEBUG=-all before ”wine Psychonauts.exe”, ”WINEDEBUG=-all” means that the Wine Debugger will be shut off. Compiz can be quite the performance killer. You can change some settings in Wine's regedit (type ”regedit” in a terminal) to enhance performance. This is how my settings look like:  You can read more about regedit on this page: http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys Problems Some textures in the game are flickering, but it's kinda rare.
Moving around the camera with the mouse can sometimes be tricky, but maybe that is a problem with the game itself instead of Wine?
