Bug#910303: Xdvi stoped showing emedded EPS figures after updating ghostscript
I just made the test and can confirm that removing "/flushpage" from the line /.devicename /.doneshowpage /flushpage /.getbitsrect /.getdevice /.getdefaultdevice /.getdeviceparams /.gethardwareparams (line number 2176) of the "/usr/share/ghostscript/9.20/Resource/Init/gs_init.ps" (provided by the package "libgs9-common", version 9.20~dfsg-3.2+deb9u5) solves the problem. Apparently, xdvi also uses flushpage to display EPS files. This can perhaps be changed on the xdvi side, but since the upstream seem to have decided to restore flushpage anyway, there is probably no need for that. S. Dachian

That looks helpful indeed. @Moritz, it seems the stable update need the referenced patch. Can you please include that?

I am not familiar with xdvi, so would appreciate some help isolating tests using Ghostscript directly. Does it emit some warnings or errors? It seems "xdvi -debug 32" provides valuable details. Can you try isolate and share an example file directly passed to Ghostscript which renders wrongly, and the Ghostscript command that is being called?
