If you have no borders/title with the terminal, it seems you didn't
install a window manager. That's strange, because the installation
routine should force you to install one ;-). Install e.g. the fvwm2 or
the fvwm95 package.

The mouse is configured in /etc/X11/XF86Config. Maybe it is set to
MouseMan mode and you have a Microsoft mouse or someting. Have a look at
the mouse section of the config file, there's some expanation in the
comments, or do man XF86Config.

The resolutions are also defined in XF86Config. Press ctrl-alt-keypad+
and - to cycle between them.
