Meanwhile, I had a look at geometry.sty. In fact, the options dvips and dvipdfm insert the same specials except that dvips additionally inserts the landscape correction, which is, as you describe above, just skipped by dvipdfm. In the view of this, I'd say implementing the more elegant solution (which needed to implement an output param "driver" and pass that to writeLaTeX, is not worth it. So, I finally think you should shove your latest patch in (trunk). Jürgen
