What works
Everything that was tested. Played through the whole game without any issues that I could notice (once set up properly).
What does not
Nothing that was tested, but it needed peculiar setup in order to not mess up the screen. By default it is set to an extremely low resolution, and changing it is difficult. It also used to crash a lot on first tries to launch the game, but using DeusExe seems to have fixed it, since I never had any crashes after that.

Additional Comments
I used DeusExe so I could launch the game properly (note that you must *not* select the "Disable mouse acceleration" checkbox in DeusExe, or else the input is completely screwed up). My setup was OpenGL rendering (from CWDohnal's page), native screen resolution, fullscreen on, 100 FPS limit, DirectSound enabled. The odd thing is that I have virtual desktop enabled in winecfg, but the game does run in fullscreen. I also used New Vision S3TC textures and the latest unofficial Deus Ex patches (Maps patch 10 and Deus Ex V2). My setup is GeForce GTX 660 with NVIDIA binary drivers.

Out-of-the box the stock OpenGL renderer will generate a segmentation fault:
This BASH script will fix the DeusEx.ini file settings to correct this. Note it is recommended to use the newer OpenGL renderer (which is significantly better)

The Kentie Launcher Deus Exe is a replacement executable for Deus Ex. It's compatible with the GOTY edition of the game, which includes the Steam version. Note: the enhanced Steam version of DeusEx appears to lose support for the high resolution/wide screen fixes, when the Kentie Launcher is installed.
