You can enable it per application:
appname --graphicssystem raster
Thanks for the tip! I would really like it to be the default, though...
you can forget 200x faster :)
Maybe, but in my setup (915GM with two monitors), restarting plasma and kwin with raster actually makes it possible to use desktop effects with XRender.
Even scrolling in Konqueror is not so bad!

I've got an i945 card and imho, it works fine.
The current KDE 4.2/Qt 4.5 issues are related to plasma.
You can try the combination yourself without any problem.
