Werner, thanks for the hint. The gpg internal CCID reader works and it seems it solved the problem.
Just as an info for the other fellow list members: IMHO the gpg version included in SUSE 10.1 was not compiled with libusb support thus it requires the pcscd and the associated libraries. Therefore I downloaded the current version (1.4.5) and did the usual tripple-play ./configure; make; sudo make install Now I can access the smart card directly via CCID (after having done the preliminary steps to install the card reader in udev) BTW, the howto on the FSFE page "http://www.fsfe.org/en/card/howto/subkey_howto" states that after successful creation of the sub-keys I shall register the new encryption sub-key (stored on the card) with the key servers. What about the signature sub-key? Or shall I register the complete key, that is the keys created with "addcardkey" and the ElGamal encryption key, with the key server? Some advise appreciated.
