RE: Available Video Modes: DirectDraw or FORCING D3D.

Well, I have tested D2lod1.12 with your proposed changes and the result was same(ie as with vals posted in first post). Nevertheless thanks for sharing! :)
Anyway if I play with Glide, I have Xorg occupying 80% of cpu, 10 d2 and 10 wineserver. Kurast lags, rain lags sometimes.
If I play with D3D, D2 takes over with 85% cpu, 10 wineserver, 5% Xorg. Kurast is quick, but as soon as some large AI group appear (tiny jungle canibals with several shamans), d2 starts to lag :/
So Im not sure which is best option :) Maybe still directdraw or hardware upgrade :)
