Emacs and auctex, xdvi call

Emacs and auctex, xdvi call

[Jens Prüfer]

Hello,

On my Emacs 21.3.1/Auctex 11.13-2, when I press "C-c C-c" to view the LaTeX
I just formated, auctex calls xdvi for preview by default. Unfortunately it
also gives a papersize option with a default to -paper us. Since I am using
a4 paper and have set all LaTeX-options accordingly, where is the call to
xdvi hidden, so I can modify it back the the plain xdvi call?

Thanks for help

Jens

This is not the default AUCTeX behavior, but probably some Debian
abomination.  You could try
M-x customize-variable RET TeX-view-style RET
but depending on how and where Debian mangles the paper size setup,
it might override your customization.
