Are you now suspending the laptop when you close the lid?

The problem with mouse gets fixed by adding hint.psm.0.flags="0x2000" to
/boot/device.hints
The problem with screen never occurs on my laptop just closing the lid.
But afair it does then it resumes. I just press CTRL+ALT+F1 and then
back F9 to make it work properly again.

I never do that myself. It annoys me as well.
Just dont use hw.acpi.lid_switch_state=S3 in sysctl.conf
