I am trying to run Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction and Starcraft Brood War and both have the same problem - if i start the game in Fullscreen the game does not stretch on the whole screen but rather sits on the top left corner of the screen. I`ve tried this with both cedega and wine. In wine the game keeps its original aspect ratio and stays in the left top corner of the screen, in cedega it changes the aspect ration but again stays on the top left corner of the screen. All of this is happening on a Thinkpad T61 14,1 (1440x900) laptop with NVidia Quadro NVS 140M and the nvidia 173.14.09 drivers installed (on x86_64 system). Here are some screenshots to see how it looks. The first one is with cedega, the second with wine.

I also have a second laptop - Acer Travelmate 2492NWLMi with Intel GMA 950 - there the both games just stretch on the entire screen (thus changing their aspect ratio) - this is fine by me and i would like to achieve the same effect on the Thinkpad. I guess it is something with the drivers because if i try the nv driver it goes fullscreen but does not stretch - the games retain their original aspect ratio and there are black bars to the left and to the right. This is not an option for me first because i need the 3d and second because it is still not the way i want it - i want the game to stretch on the entire screen.
