eps to jpg is the wrong way, convert them _always_ to pdf with epstopdf.
The preamble to the LaTeX source file now looks much like the one used
in the traditional method:
\documentclass[pdftex,...]{article} % the pdftex is essential
\usepackage[dvips]{graphicx} % to include images
\usepackage{pslatex} % to use PostScript fonts
using options pdftex _and_ dvips makes no sense, use
only one of it.
Just as in the traditional method, we can omit the filename suffix:
only when you use the right driver!
But now, what's automatically found is the file circle1.pdf, not
circle1.eps."
pdflatex is run in dvi mode. _all_ new distributions
use pdftex as engine.
