I have had a similar problem caused by the fact that xdvi uses the
first gs it finds on the PATH and if you have the ghostscript and
ghostscript-x11 packages installed this is the non-X11 one and thus it
can't render to xdvi's window.
I have the following line in my ~/.Xresources file to fix it:
xdvi.interpreter: gs-x11
You could also pass the -interpreter option to xdvi.

Toby.
