I have been used to invoking Ghostscript to display my postscript efforts on this Thinkpad running Ubuntu, but it did not do so with the "fresh" desktop install of Debian. I have looked at the default output device on this Thinkpad, and it is x11alpha, but that appears to not be available with the Debian installed version of Ghostscript.
Is the ghostscript-x package installed? Does it help? See below.
