I use auctex. If I use latex built-in 'pdflatex' I need to have my

them in .eps. So far I have had both a .pdf version and a .eps
version of
the pictures and included them like:
Have you thought of a PDF viewer as substitute for xdvi? There are
free ones that work better then commercial products. When you have
teTeX you can use texdoc as universal script to view teTeX
documentation or as tex-dvi-view-command.
IMO the route with DVI output is out-dated. PDF is the way today.
Tomorrow: ?
You could try to set tex-dvi-print-command to a script that uses
dvipdfm to convert DVI to PDF -- and in the end it should print the
PDF file (or use tex-alt-dvi-print-command for this purpose).
Or, set *tex-run-command(s) to scripts that do two things: invoking
some *TeX engine (plain tex, latex, xetex, xelatex, slitex, ...) +
upon success dvipdfm.
pdfTeX also supports PNG, GIF, JPEG, and could be TIFF, too, but no
PS or EPS. Ps4pdf or pstricks have learned to convert (E)PS to PDF on
the fly.
