I started to use emacs for LateX editing again. Back in the days, it was configured automatically that C-c C-f would open the corresponding *.dvi file with evince. With the latest version of emacs, it does not do the same. Is there a way to open the doc with evince? (I am sure there is a way. It is emacs afterall).

Thanks!

    I use this code with auctex-mode:

    ;; use evince for dvi and pdf viewer
;; evince-dvi backend should be installed
(setq TeX-view-program-selection
      '((output-dvi "DVI Viewer")
        (output-pdf "PDF Viewer")
        (output-html "Google Chrome")))
(setq TeX-view-program-list
      '(("DVI Viewer" "evince %o")
        ("PDF Viewer" "evince %o")
        ("Google Chrome" "google-chrome %o")))

    You didn’t mention if you’re using auctex-mode or the old latex-mode that comes bundled with Emacs.
