Your document probably don't include the needed \specials.

Does the graphicx/graphics package not set the required \specials if
called after the \paperheight and \paperwidth have been set?

You should set the layout with geometry. Call it with the right option
for your prefered dvidriver e.g.
\usepackage[dvips]{geometry}. Then it will add the correct specials for
dvips or pdflatex.

Yes.

Btw: Don't use \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}.

What is wrong with doing it that way?

I've been told it's wrong before, but I can't see why.

In miktex a simple
\usepackage{graphicx} works fine with dvips, pdflatex and xetex.

in MacTeX, it does not.
