Make sure that you actually use the same version of ghostscript on both
machines, e.g. by comparing the output of this:
dpkg -l ghostscript\* gs-\* | awk '/^[^D|+]/{print $1,$2,$3}' | column -t

ghostscript; however, you can easily test the "nvidia hypothesis" by
switching X to the vesa driver and opening the file again.
