That was the problem. Trackpoint now works like a charm :) (Stupid 
question, is the trackpoint "clickable", too?)

Everyone I asked assured me it worked great with their Xs. Maybe they 
all use x.org, might be. I've been thinking, whether I should put an 
x.org on it, but so far I rather tended to avoid the hassle. Hotplugging 
however might be a reason ...
