Psychonauts can definitely run on Intel Cards under Linux, you just have to force the card to allow s3tc textures. To do this under the command line, you would use:

force_s3tc_enable=true ./Psychonauts

And it should work. You might want to edit the .desktop file that the installer created so that it will point to a psychonauts.sh file that contains this command. That way you could still run the game from the app menu.

My .sh file looks like this:

cd /home/mike/Custom/psychonauts

force_s3tc_enable=true ./Psychonauts

And in the .desktop file I changed the exec from "/home/mike/Custom/psychonauts/Psychonauts" to sh /home/mike/Custom/psychonauts/psychonauts.sh

The sh command is absolutely necessary here, or else the game won't load properly and your desktop might lock up.

A word of warning: while the game will run on an integrated Intel graphics card, it probably won't run very WELL. You can adjust graphics settings in-game to try and improve performance, but it'll still be at least a little choppy.
