The x11/x11alpha device in ghostscript 8.15 (SUSE 10.0), and used by e.g. gv and kghostview, only produces utter rubbish as output and is therefore useless. ghostscript 8.53 is noticably better, but still not as good as 7.07.1. Question: has anyone tried to make packages for gs 8.53 and/or 7.07 which install in an alternative location, so they can be installed in addition to the system packages? I have tried with 7.07 as from Suse 9.2 (removing omni, hpijs, cdj880 as that stuff simply doesn't compile), but the packaging needs more work (interaction with cups - should prob disable that, fonts - can be shared with 8.15).

It's not a SUSE bug though, I believe, from http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=687376 But if it helps - #140100 Volker -- Volker Kuhlmann is possibly list0570 with the domain in header http://volker.dnsalias.net/ Please do not CC list postings to me.
