Welcome!

According to this thread:

http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5

FFXI supports a native widescreen resolution. It will fill your WS laptop, without stretching or distorting. I don't know about that specific model, but if it's specs meet the game's, you should be good to go.

KotOR has some problems... a member of this forum (Wogg) has coded a hack that sets the resolution to widescreen ones, but whether it works or not seems to be down to luck. See this thread and this thread.

Jedi Knight II and a couple of others will play in widescreen, but the majority will not.
