No, JJ2 only supports 640x480 and below, and the video modes and functions are determined by the JJ2 code, not the drivers. There ARE some ways to work around this by fooling around with the registry, but I wouldn't recommend it. Using windowed mode is decent enough.
(Sidenote: What I mean technically is that you can't go any higher than 640x480 in JJ2 within window sizes, NOT that you can't play JJ2 if your desktop resolution is higher than 640x480. If you're running a high resolution, it would be somewhat hard to see the JJ2 window in full detail in windowed mode, but not too much. I like to maximize the window to fit the desktop to see better, but it runs a little slower and the overall view is scaled without graphics interpolation in which what makes the graphics a little messy looking. The 'scaling' problem looks a lot better in 640x400, though. It also seems to unmaximize itself upon starting a new level or joining a different server. Oh well. AGP acceleration, anyone?)

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, Alberto, but I think defalcon asked about JJ2 resolutions, not desktop resolutions in general. If desktop resolutions were the case, however, that might be correct.
I don't think DirectX has anything to do with pre-defined resolution registry entries, though... |

I know, but Tweety had this problem once when she spilled ice tea on her keyboard, then the technician changed the mainboard, but when she tried to play Jazz2 she got the same problem as defalcon, DirectX8 didn't do nothing (it's obvious) but we wanted to give it a try, then I found out it was her drivers, she downloaded new ones and it worked.
In fact what I wanna say it's that many video card drivers can give that problems, for example it happens with my video card. Look, I got a 3D Blaster Banshee If I want I can install 3D Blaster Banshee Drivers from Creative, they're original ones Or, I can install 3DFX Voodoo Banshee Drivers, in fact, they work, but they mess the resolution and many games don't fit the screen etc, at all the best thing that defalcon can do is configure his monitor, almost all monitors have resizing buttons. |

Def this happens on my laptop its a darn stuggle to get it working but i might be able to help over ICQ (it finally works on my laptop and ill think youll find that it happens with everrything not just jj2). Oh and the quality isn't as good.
