Nowadays this is normal. This allows things like microtype.sty to be used
in conjunction with latex (ie, dvi-production).

I am pretty sure that this is the problem. Essentially you are lying to
latex. You want a dvi-file but you load the driver for pdf-production.
Leave out this option (in most cases graphicx the right thing
automatically) and your problems will most likely go away (sorry, I cannot
test it right now).

Unnecessary since it is loaded by graphicx.sty.
