Since the only new group I have is sddm, I wouldn't think it was a group
but it acts like it. A change in udev would sound more likely given
that my camera and phone works just fine. You may have came up with a
good place to look into.
It worked before the plasma switch here too. This is a recent change.
I don't recall a eudev upgrade here tho. Logs don't show it either.

That last one was just a rebuild from when I did my emerge -e world the
other day. Before that was months ago. Still, something changed
somewhere.
