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?
