The other issue I'm having with OpenSUSE 15.3 is that xdvi no longer displays figures in a .dvi document (.dvi is the result of compiling a .tex document).

Do you mean xdvi does not work at all? Or that some content (text?) is displayed and not other (image?) content? If so, can you attach a concrete example to your next message?
I can use okular to display the .dvi document, but I miss how fast xdvi is.
It is fast, no doubt.
Can emacs also display .dvi documents? Are there any other fast viewers for .dvi documents?
I don't recall ever having seen anything to display .dvi files in emacs, so I just took a quick look. There are some packages that convert .dvi files to .png files and display those, but I doubt that you would find that faster than okular. On my system okular seems pretty fast (I looked at .../texlive/2021/texmf-dist/source/fontinst/base/fisource.dvi which is 224 pages and there was no laggyness I could detect, okular seemed more or less as fast as xdvi).
Perhaps there is something wrong with your openSUSE ?
Cheers. Jim
