(SOLVED) Re: OpenPGP card not accessible

[Malte Gell]

For whom it may concern and Google cache:

 I found the source of trouble. I had to give one additional parameter to gpg-
agent: --scdaemon-program /usr/bin/scdaemon

After specifying this parameter I was able to successfully access the openPGP 
card with pcsc drivers and a Reiner SCT e-com.

On e.g. openSUSE open /etc/X11/xdm/sys.xsession and look for the line that 
starts with "set -- $gpgagent --sh --daemon.........." add to this line:

--scdaemon-program /usr/bin/scdaemon

and the error described below is gone.
