[XeTeX] xelatex and geometry

[Ulrike Fischer]

Hello,

I'm used to call geometry almost always with the option dvips:

\usepackage[dvips,...]{geometry}

This works fine with latex + dvips, and it also works with pdflatex as
\Gm at checkdrivers corrects the driver.

It would also work with xelatex if geometry.cfg for XeLaTeX (JK
2006-06-07) wouldn't contain a \let\Gm at checkdrivers\relax and so the
\specials for dvips are not set. 

As far as I can see \Gm at checkdrivers is a problem for xelatex because of
this switch which leads to an undefined control sequence error because
of the \pdfoutput:

\ifx\pdfpagewidth\@undefined\else
    \ifnum\pdfoutput=\@ne
      \Gm at setdriver{pdftex}%
    \fi
  \fi

So I would suggest to use 

\@ifundefined{XeTeXversion}{}{%
\def\pdfoutput{1}%
}

in the cfg.
