[Typo3-linux] Activating GraphicsMagick on 3.8?

Hi Erasmo,

That's really a strange issue.

Please do this:
- Check all settings of $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['GFX']. Comment all of them out,
  usually you don't need them anymore if you use GraphicsMagick.

In my setup, I only use these settings:

$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["GFX"]["TTFdpi"] = '96';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["GFX"]["im_path"] = '/usr/bin/safe/';
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS["GFX"]["im_version_5"] = 'gm';
