The key requirement for ghostscript is that it work properly. There may be some dodgey files that work with some versions but not others, but I've used 8.15.1 and 8.53 with xdvi on other systems. The canonical test file is grfguide.tex, whch contains a minimal (e)ps file. Can you catch gs misbehaving independently of tetex? Then you could file a bug report with Red Hat against gs. You could try installing the current gs 8.53 from sources, which is not at all difficult (e.g., compared to using TeX) if the tools are working. -- George N.
