    I think that means that you have the right modules loaded (it took
    psmouse in my case)
    The fact that the mouse locks to the top right corner usually means
    that you are using the wrong protocol.
    Try using /dev/input/mice and the imps2 protocol (iirc with 2.6 all
    mice are routed to /dev/input/mice and emulated as imps2)
