If you don't know what youre are doing, use dselect to remove it, it should
tell you about dependencies and remove them as well.

what password? can you describe a little more what happens in your xsession?
I never have to enter my password in X after I fired it up. I do have to
enter my passPHRASE, but thats a completely different thing and related to
ssh. _where_ do you have to enter your password, is there a window with a
title? are you trying to log in as another user, as root, did you edit your
.xsession? If you give us detailed info, we give you answers.

Are you using the clgen driver? Then you have to fix the kernel to get a
different mode. Ask the other clgen users, maybe by combining the efforts
you can achieve the usability of the 2.0.x driver.
BTW, what happened to the updated docs?
And anybody tested the new kernel images yet? I put atari images there
today. mac failed to compile...
