Running the latest and fully updated version of Mint, and the current version of Psychonauts. Despite editing the DisplaySettings.ini file to both FullScreen=true and a 1920x1080 resolution, it still opens in a minimally sized window. I can manage to get the Options menu to come up, but for some reason no controls want to work properly, other than the one to exit the menu...cursor keys don't work, the mouse refuses to select options, and attempting to use the control pad (a Logitech F710 in XInput mode, BTW, which should function the same as an X360 controller) just sends the mouse pointer all over the place. In the game itself, the gamepad *sort* of works, though for some reason the analog sticks are also taking control of the mouse pointer, causing weird effects when trying to use buttons when the pointer is outside the game window.

Hey. how did it go? I had the same problem and figured it out. I thought I couldn't interact with the settings menu, so I tried to go to displaysettings.ini instead and it still didn't work. I figured out how to interact with the display settings (with a mouse). For some reason, hovering the mouse over the "Graphics" option doesn't highlight it which I believe is the same as your problem. This is hard to explain without a video so I decided to make a video to show you what I mean:
ehh, I just realised GOG won't let me post a link so I'll just post it with a random space or 2 and when you put it together it will become a working link:

That should probably fix your problem but before you do it. There's another easily fixable glitch that's caused by putting the game into fullscreen mode and having it in a low resolution mode like how in my video the game was running in it's default 800x600 resolution. Well after the video ended. When I exited the game my entire desktop had switched from running in the default 1080p to the 800x600 resolution the game was set to. It's pretty annoying but you can fix it by going to the display settings of Linux Mint and setting the resolution back to 1080p (or whatever your default resolution may be)
I assume if you play the game in the same resolution as you run your desktop in, than this glitch shouldn't be an issue for you. But I have a weak computer and have to lower the resolution even in old games such as this.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I was. This was a couple years ago, so I'm on a different PC and using a different Linux distro now.
