Not the answer to your question, but consider using pdf-tools, which is
a much better pdf viewer than docview.  (Also, it can integrate with
AUCTeX.)

Also, what do you mean exactly by "be like emacs -nw"?  Also, what is
the reason you want that?  I hardly ever use Emacs in a terminal, but
AFAIK, emacs in a graphical environment is basically the same as in the
terminal, only better (for example, some keychords do not work in
terminals AFAIK).  Also, Emacs in graphical environment has some nice
and/or useful capabilities like displaying images (which is extremely
useful for me).

Hth,
