In the meantime I have contacted everyone who could have something to do
with it:
Kernel groups
System D
Nvidia
And gues: Everyone says it's not their fault.
But we don't give up. Linux is such a beautiful and solid system. Why
would it work with Windows and not Linux?
Our analysis has now discovered that the problem does indeed come from
the kernel. The kernel does not allow several users to access a graphics
card at the same time.Indeed, to use it, several users need access to
the graphics card at the same time.
Can this simultaneous access be allowed by the kernel after all?
Or can the kernel be adjusted so that this would be possible?

OK i will report it to nvidia. But with the nouveau drivers it's

working. Are you sure it's not a kernel problem?
Because according to systemd it would be a kernel problem.
(personaly i am
also thinking it's a driver problem)
Unfortunately, it's not easy for Nouveau to debug problems with GSP-RM.
However, if the problem exists in the proprietary driver, then Nvidia
could
fix it. That would then lead to a new version of OpenRM that Nouveau
could
use.
I have contacted Nvidia and now i can see the outputs such like this:
─/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.1/0000:08:00.0/drm/card0
│ [MASTER] drm:card0
│
├─/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.1/0000:08:00.0/drm/card0/card0-DVI-D-1
│ │ [MASTER] drm:card0-DVI-D-1
│
├─/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.1/0000:08:00.0/drm/card0/card0-HDMI-A-1
│ │ [MASTER] drm:card0-HDMI-A-1

└─/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.1/0000:08:00.0/drm/card0/card0-VGA-1
│ [MASTER] drm:card0-VGA-1
But the problem is now the same of with the Nouveau driver. When you
do this:
loginctl attach seat1
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:03.1/0000:08:00.0/drm/card0/card0-VGA-1
For the seat1 (the VGA d-sub output for seat1 and the other HDMI
output for seat0) and of course the mouse and keyboard.
When you do this, all the graphics outputs are on the second seat
(seat1) and not anymore on the first seat. So i need to move only the
VGA output to seat1 and not all the outputs.
The problem is that linux can not start 2 or more window managers on
one card (even if you don't need a multiseat, but use only one mouse
and keyboard).
So how can i fix that i can use more than one window manager on one
physical graphics card? (without Xephyr or something because they are
to outdated and works not good).
I have tried with: Linux Mint, Ubuntu and Debian all the same problem.
