 Debian works beautifully so far... but I can't seem to use my whole
 screen: there is always a huge black border.

You have to be specific:
- Which laptop (brand and model)
- Which video card. In doubt, check the output of lspci -nn or
  Xorg.log by running grep -i chipset  /var/log/Xorg.0.log)
- Which version of Debian (I assume you use Lenny)

 When I go to change the screen resolution I only have the option of
 800x600 (and 60 or 56Hz refresh rate).

 How can I stretch things so it uses up my whole screen?

Xorg didn't auto-detect your configuration.

Franklin
