Try this:
run gs from the shell
you'll get a gs prompt
type the following at the prompt
devicenames ==
look for any x11 stuff
you should find atleast x11 if not x11alpha
Thereafter:
Try changing your ghostscript options in gv from state->ghostscript
options->antialias device to the one you found earlier ( if none was found or if
this does not work remove the device in the antialias device..... you'll atleast
be able to read your ps's if not too clearly :-(
hope this helps
vinay
