Just in case this might benefit someone else.
The installation of Qubes OS proceeded without any hiccups, and the Trackpoint
along with its hardware buttons actually worked during the installation.
But when Qubes OS itself started, the Trackpoint and its hardware buttons did
not respond. The mousepad still worked, although clicking required
hard-pressing ("touch"-clicking on the mousepad did not work).
Playing around with the "Mouse and Touchpad" settings in System Tools had no
effect.
I found a published work-around in a previous thread on this forum which has
fixed the trackpoint and its hardware buttons. But "touch"-clicking on the
mousepad is still an isue.

Created the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-trackpoint.conf with these contents:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "trackpoint catchall"
MatchIsPointer "true"
MatchProduct "TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
If anyone knows of a way to get the mousepad to also register touches, that
would be great.
