I don't have NVidia or use the full plasma desktop environment on my laptop (I use enlightenment instead with a Radeon card). However, I have not added sddm to the video group and have not noticed anything undue in my logs. I have however noticed that sddm is slightly slower than kdm. Why is the video group needed?
