I don't have NVidia or use the full plasma desktop environment on my laptop (I |
| 26 |
use enlightenment instead with a Radeon card). However, I have not added sddm |
| 27 |
to the video group and have not noticed anything undue in my logs. I have |
| 28 |
however noticed that sddm is slightly slower than kdm. |

Why is the video group needed? What does it do? |
