I could not get the X11R3 version to work under DecWindows either. I went
back to the X11R2 old contrib on expo and got that version of xdvi and
it compiled with no problems. By default xdvi gives you the full previewed
page and is usually hard to read. But if you use the command xdvi -s 2
(shrink factor only 2 instead of 4 by default) then the page comes out
looking very nice.

Good luck
