can't use Kdvi as dvi previewer

can't use Kdvi as dvi previewer

[Johs]

I use Ubuntu 6.10 and auctex and have installed Kdvi. I have tried to add
the following to my
.emacs file:

(setq tex-dvi-view-command "kdvi")

But when I preview emacs still uses xdvi. How do I change to kdvi?

This variable has nothing to do with AUCTeX.

(info "(auctex)Viewing") <-- Type `C-x C-e' here.

hmm do I have to enter:

(info "(auctex)Viewing")

into my .emacs file?

Of course you're free to do it this way, but the preferable way is to
copy this line into an emacs buffer (eg the *scratch* buffer) and then
type C-x C-e.  This leads you to the section "Viewing" of the auctex
manual.  Here you will probably find an answer to your question.

not really.

I have now tried:

(setq Tex-view "kdvi") 

does not work

and I have also tried:

(setq TeX-view-style '(("^a5$" "kdvi %d -paper a5")
                       ("^landscape$" "kdvi %d -paper a4r -s 4")
                       ("." "kdvi %d"))

which does not work either.

Any hints?

I have also tried:

M-x customize-variable RET TeX-view-style RET 

which gives me:
Tex View Style: Hide
INS DEL Regexp: ^a5$
            Command: kdvi %d -paper a5
INS DEL Regexp: ^landscape$
            Command: kdvi %d -paper a4r -s 4
INS DEL Regexp: .
            Command: kdvi %d
INS
   State: this option has been changed outside the customize buffer.
List of style options and view options. Hide

So it is setup for kdvi but running C-c C-c does just start xdvi as usuall

This works:

(add-hook 'TeX-mode-hook
          ;; Super-Tab
          (lambda ()
            ;; Preview-LaTeX
            (TeX-source-specials-mode 1)
            (local-set-key "\C-i" 'th-complete-or-indent)
            ;; PDFs per default mit kpdf öffnen
            (add-to-list 'TeX-output-view-style
                         '("^pdf$" "." "kpdf %o"))
            ;; DVIs per default mit kdvi öffnen
            (add-to-list 'TeX-output-view-style
                         '("^dvi$" "." "kdvi %o"))))

So the option I needed was: TeX-output-view-style
