[XeTeX] graphics inclusion

[Guy]

Thanks for the responses, Jonathan and Bruno.  The problem is probably
very basic; is there any documentation I could read on graphics and
XeTeX?  Including my graphic works fine under the graphicx package in
latex, but I'm missing something with XeTeX.  I followed the advice
below, but still got the same error ("! Unable to load...").  Can I
ask the newbie question of what packages or preamble commands, if any,
are required to use the \XeTeXpdffile command?  And is there a special
option to use when issuing the "xelatex <file.tex>" command?  I tried
also "xelatex -no-pdf file.tex" and "xdvipdfmx -v file.xdv," which did
produce a pdf, but since there was still the same problem to begin
with ("! Unable to load..."), the graphic was not included.  I had the
same problem with an otherwise blank article and got the same result,
so I'm assuming I'm just missing a basic command or bit of
configuration.  Thanks again for the help,

guy
