It works on my system and it should work on yours as well.

Here is a test document:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[dvipdfmx]{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{tabular}{cc}
\includegraphics[width=2cm]{rose.eps}&
\includegraphics[width=2cm]{rose.png}\\
\includegraphics[width=2cm]{rose.jpg}&
\includegraphics[width=2cm]{rose.pdf}
\end{tabular}
\end{document}

I used rose.eps shipping with Ghostscript to test and converted it to 
png, jpg and pdf:

martin at nox:~/tmp/test$ epstopdf rose.eps
martin at nox:~/tmp/test$ sam2p rose.eps rose.png
martin at nox:~/tmp/test$ sam2p rose.eps rose.jpg

martin at nox:~/tmp/test$ latex --shell-escape test.tex 

This is pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) 

  \write18 enabled. 

  %&-line parsing enabled.

and then

martin at nox:~/tmp/test$ dvipdfmx test.dvi

generates a pdf-file where all four images are visible.
