What features of xdvi do you need?  You might find that always
generating postscript and using ghostview will give you the features you
need.  I use xdvi for speed, but it is definitely not feature rich.
Ghostview has a lot of nice features.  The cost of doing this is always
having to generate the .ps file whenever you run latex, but this has got
to be better than running YAP under wine.

I don't think you'll ever beat latex here.  Increasing your familiarity
with latex will certainly reduce your frustration.  I actually like it.
