That is odd.  texi2dvi should default to using regular latex.  You usually
have to pass a -p option or use the alias texi2pdf in order to use pdflatex.
 It might be that you have a LATEX environment variable set.  In any case,
you can alter this behaviour by setting the LATEX environment variable, e.g.
setting the variable LATEX=xelatex will make texi2dvi use xelatex instead of
regular latex.

Finally, regarding .eps files, note that the latest version of pdflatex can
handle .eps graphics without having to go through the latex->dvips->ps2pdf
route so it might be worth your while upgrading.  Failing that, you can put
\usepackage{epstopdf} in your preamble and then older versions of pdflatex
will work just fine.

Best,

Matt Leifer
