I'll try this.

OK, I confused the backend with the output format.

That's already done, or LSR wouldn't work at all.

Things are a little bit better. The output of the ps backend still
crashes gv and it is not displayed by ggv. Moreover, convert
(ImageMagick) stopped working because of the ghostscript 8.15 rpm--I'm
trying to understand if that can be fixed.

I'm trying to use the --png format with the eps backend, setting the
resolution.
