It will still be possible to install 32bit applications on 64bit systems like it is currently, have you tried running your application on Leap with the 32bit compatibility libraries installed? Its probably a better solution.
It is a mixed thing. The frame grabber cards are accessed via a kernel driver. Happily, the card manufacturer provides both 32- and 64-bit drivers. So, if I am lucky, the 64-bit drivers may work. The difficulty is that the 32-bit access library to control the sensors connected to the card is compiled against the 32-bit kernel drivers. So I wonder if it could talk to the 64-bit driver without modification. And, of course, I would need to find 64-bit drivers that work with a new kernel but are compatible with the 32-bit drivers that the access library was compiled to use... In fact, I guess I might face the same problem finding a 32-bit driver that works with a new kernel (as supplied in 32-bit Tumbleweed) that also works with the old 32-bit access library. So there are more than 32-/64-bit issues. But you are right. It is a possible solution. Something tells me that we are going to have to keep these customers on their current OS which we will have to continue to support...
