Can't say anything about the SDLMess but the hi-res mouse works for me in the 
Windows version of MESS.

I'll assume you are not using a gui form of MESS, so you get to the settings 
with ScrollLock/TAB. System Configuration is the panel that contains mouse settings.
Either or both Right and Left Controller Ports get set for joysticks. Hi-Res 
Interfaces gets set for something and if you want Tandy instead of CoCoMax you 
will probably select HiRes in Right Port unless your game or program needs the 
Left Port.

With your pointer stuck in the upper left corner, that is indicative of None for 
the Hi-Res setting or a mismatch of Right/Left Port.
