Maybe the graphicx package is one of those that don't detect pdflatex
correctly?
I was premature in announcing my solution to the 'no dvi' problem.
The command line switch has no effect if the preamble includes
/usepackage[pdftex]{graphics}
but works fine if the pdftex option is removed. My solution uses
oberdiek's ifpdf package:
\ifpdf
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\else
\usepackage{graphicx}
\fi
