Hi! I don't have experience running X11r5 server on a decstation but from
your description of mouse movement moving windows in the opposite
directions, I can guess that maybe on your decstation's origin doesn't match
with the mouse's. You might need to invert y values (and/or x values) in the 
ddx layer before passing to the server.
