   Bug#1128809: ghostscript fails to work w   
   23 Feb 26 08:50:01   
   
   From: subroy.debian@manyme.com   
      
   Package: ghostscript   
   Version: 10.05.1~dfsg-1+deb13u1   
   Severity: important   
      
   After upgrading my monitor to 4k display with wider color-gamut, started   
   Xorg with 30-bit color depth (DefaultDepth 30 in '/etc/X11/xorg.conf').   
   'xdpyinfo' also reports:   
   depth of root window: 30 planes   
      
   Most of the other softwares I use displays without any problem.   
   However, 'gv FILE.ps' kept on waiting for the file to open.   
   To understand the issue in opening the file, I tried 'ghostscript FILE.ps'.   
   It showed the following:   
      
   GPL Ghostscript 10.05.1: Unsupported X visual depth: 30   
   **** Unable to open the initial device, quitting.   
   Segmentation fault   
      
   Given that most of the present era monitors support 10-bit colour for   
   R/G/B, more and more people are going to be hit by this lack of   
   support. Therefore, I am marking this as 'important'.   
   Upstream bugs also do not list this issue.
