Make this
  \usepackage{ifpdf}
  \ifpdf
    \usepackage[dvips]{graphicx}
  \else
    \usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
    ...
  \fi

IMHO, it is wrong to assume that the user wants pdf output if the pdftex
engine is detected. It is in the documentation of pdftex for *ages*
(forever I think) that pdftex can well be used to produce dvi output.
