add "Exec=plasma-desktop -graphicssystem raster" in /usr/share/autostart/plasma-desktop.desktop ?
How do I add this to the location specified? Thanks |

This is how I did it: In the run dialog (alt+f2) you input this: kdesu 'kwrite /usr/share/autostart/plasma-desktop.desktop'
Kwrite with root permissions should open displaying the file. Line 2 is the one you want. Just add -graphicssystem 'whatever backend you want' I did it about half an hour ago using the raster backend. After restarting X plasma is blinding fast.  |

Okay I think I got it going. I have 2 gigs of ram that should be more than enough for my apps and the present settings right? |

Try this too. Open terminal su to root and type kwrite /usr/bin/startkde
change this line from
kwrapper4 ksmserver $KDEWM
to
kwrapper4 ksmserver $KDEWM -graphicssystem raster
Logout and back in again.

Done that and the kde apps really start faster, a lot faster. With this thing and the updated toolchain we will clearely have the best kde4 . |

Have these changes been made to the system through updates or should we try them manually?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think Tex is planning on including in the updates, but adding it in yourself shouldn't make a difference since it will be updated when you do the update.
