OK, I confess to being sloppy in my previous posting
about ghostscript previewing without X windows.
So Lanfranchi Thierry <lanfra_t@xenon.epita.fr> pointed out
> You can try gs -sDEVICE=linux ....
It was the failure of "-sDEVICE=linux" that led
to my first posting, but even if a new, improved
GhostScript executable is available, I would like
to know how to compile in the vga drivers by my
lonesome (I'm kinda funny that way :-).
When I try the "linux" device with my ghostscript
executable, I get a streaky screen that looks like something
from the intro to the old _Outer Limits_ show.
I have the source files for GhostScript 2.6.1 (and
I even got the "fix"es), but I do not see an easy
way of including the vga drivers on a unix system
(MSDOS is another story ...).
I do not feel like reinventing the wheel (or "dev" files
for that matter :-), particularly since somebody out
there seems to worked through this problem already.
I would be grateful if someone would tell me
how to compile linux vga drivers into the current (2.6.1?)
version of GhostScript.
Thanks.
