HI Wojtekm >From my experience NVidia drivers work great under X11, either via twin view, or multiple cards driving multiple windows. So I don't think it's a case of NVidia needing to support OSG better, rather just improve there Windows drivers. It might be that OSG developers/users tend to be at the professional end of the market so more likely to drive multiple monitors/cards. That does lead us on to the lack of support for this market segment.
Personally I'd rather ATI/AMD and NVidia spend more time doing better support for multi-monitors, and multi-threaded multi-contexts and let us control the compositing than doing silly marketing driven stuff like SLI and Crossfire.
