Hmm, TeX has nothing to do with X11, you can use it on a ASCII terminal.

The cause is, that is was linked with the 5.2 version of the shared
library. There is a workaround for this Problem: do a symbolic link
from libX11.so.6.0 to libX11.so.5.2. But it is better to recompile
xdvi which isn't very difficult.
