For what it's worth, the command
yum search xdvi
will give you a list of candidate packages, with descriptions: most of
which end with the advice
    If you are installing tetex, you will also need to install
    tetex-afm (a PostScript(TM) font converter for TeX), tetex-dvips
    (for converting .dvi files to PostScript format for printing on
    PostScript printers), tetex-latex (a higher level formatting package
    which provides an easier-to-use interface for TeX), and tetex-xdvi
    (for previewing .dvi files in X). Unless you are an expert at using
    TeX, you should also install the tetex-doc package, which includes
    the documentation for TeX.

Hope this helps,

James.
