I have never used ghostscript in this way, but I think
it can display .ps files in VGA graphics (no need for Xserver)
I remember to experience ghostscript's try to display
a .ps but because of lack of memory on my graphics card
it wasn't successful :)
Remind me please why you don't wanna to use a Xwindow .ps browser?
