FWIW, I prefer to run xdvi myfile to avoid the clumsy file selection dialog ;-) > After selecting the > dvi-file the screen is complete black.

I vaguely remember that a similar problem was discussed in c.t.t. a few months ago, but I couldn't find it on Google (need to check my local correspondence). Maybe this was just a problem with strange X resources; does invoking xdvi like this: xdvi -xrm "*background:white" -xrm "*foreground:black" myfile fix it? If so, you could add the following lines to your .Xdefaults: xdvi*background:white xdvi*foreground:black and run xrdb ~/.Xdefaults to make these settings persistent. -- Stefan Ulrich
