Known issues
- On the x86_64 architecture, you cannot use eID in combination with 32-bit applications:
-
On SLED10, Firefox, OpenOffice.org and Thunderbird are all built as 32-bit applications. So they don't work with eID on the x86_64 platform.
Evolution is built as a 64-bit application on x86_64, so it does work with eID.
- Starting with openSUSE 10.3, all aforementioned applications are 64-bit on the x86_64 architecture and so they should all work with eID.
- The beidgui eID viewer that comes with the eID middleware no longer ships with openSUSE 10.3 and higher. It no longer builds because it uses deprecated functions that are no longer available in openSUSE 10.3. To compensate for this, eID viewing functionality has been added to eIDconfig-belgium starting with version 1.0.0.
