hyperref would use the hypertex driver by default. However, hyperref.cfg in TeX Live and teTeX changes this to dvips for DVI-mode. I don't know what graphics/ color would do by default, but again the .cfg-file changes this to use dvips specials. So for sake of consistency it would be a good idea to adjust geometry.cfg appropriately. IMO this change should be done upstream, though. cheerio ralf
