+It was used on mips at mdv due to some incompatible xorg. On some
+loongson 2e systems, we had to use a patched server and using this
+patch on other systems would break them. Don't ask details, all I
+can say it that adding a hack to xorg was the only way to get it to
+work. I'm not sure that this hack would still work nowadays,
+unfortunately.
+
+So, when we got this annoying trouble, in order to be able to tell which
+xorg rpms to choose during installation, we got the advice to add a new
+level and add :
+
+CAT_X
+  6 TYPE"mips_lemote" x11-server-lm2e x11-server-lm2e-common
+  6 TYPE"mips_ict" x11-server x11-server-common
+
+to the rpmsrate.
