So you abandoned the use of ps4pdf, with or without .sh?

Are you sure that when PDF is set as your default TeX output file  
format simpdftex does not work?

If so, then create a DVIview command and a PDFview command. Could be  
for the latter you would have to register first PDF file type.

You might also like to contact the AUCTeX developers mailing list:  
auctex-devel (at) gnu.org. Or the typical Emacs help list: help-gnu- 
emacs (at) gnu.org.

Before you do this, sleep once or twice, sort a bit your demands, and  
try to find out what is working and why other's not working. It might  
help to understand AUCTeX and develop appropriate work-flows. My  
suggestions were not meant to be perfect, rather to show you possible  
ways to find (partial) solutions.

GNU Emacs can directly display graphics in XPM, GIF, TIFF, and old  
JPEG format (i.e. not in JPEG2000).

TeXniscope also automatically reloads the PDF file. And it also  
displays DVI – after it was converted to PDF. Both TeXShop and  
TeXniscope use the pdfsync method, i.e. pointing into PDF output  
positions the the cursor in the TeX input. Well, somehow.
