Sorry for that inconvenience:

Here is a more detailed report:

dvipdfm works, but it doesn't recognize the specials generated from
hyperref
any more - hyperref things like backref or an index which is linked. A
sample tex looks like:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}

\usepackage{hyperref}
\begin{document}
This is some sample text.
\end{document}

run it with:
latex test.tex
dvipdfm test.dvi

produces some output like:
[...]
Ignoring remaining special text following unknown PS operator: "SDict"

Remainder of line unparsed.
Current input buffer is -->begin 14.5 H.A end<--

Current input buffer is -->begin [ /View [/XYZ H.V] /Dest (Doc-Start)

The pdf gets written and is viewable, but on my real document the page
is pressed into the right upper corner and none of the links in the
document work. I testet it on a Red Hat Box in our school with dvipdfm
0.13.2c and it works ok.
