You can get a driver from iDream for pcsc-lite: linux driver_STD200_THRC.zip but I could not get it working and it's for a quite old version (pcsclite 0.9.1).

I tried to install openct and opensc, there was communication with the reader with the standard CCID, I can get communication with a VISA card but with the Belgian eID I get error at protocol selection and the beidgui was not working neither.

apt-get install beidgui
=> libopenct1 libpcsclite1 libbeidlibopensc2 libbeid2 beid-tools beidgui libccid pcscd

# openct-tool atr

VISA card replies correct ATR & protocol selection:

Received (SW1=0x6D, SW2=0x00)

I could finally get it working, not with openct which gave the broken results as shown above but with libccid:
Edit /etc/libccid_Info.plist and add the vendor/product ID to the list, e.g.:

Now a simple call to beidgui works :-)
Check Belgian eID for other experiments with the eID card under Linux.
