Hi Klaus, I don't know Equalizer and am haven't yet learnt enough about osgWidget's implementation to tell you about the potential for using it with multiple views. However, in principle I would say it should be possible, but may well require some refactoring of osgWidget. Over the coming months I will be using and contributing to osgWidget far more than I have up to now so will eventually be able to help support it better and also help out with any refactoring of it to make it more general purpose. You'll need to be patient though.
On the Equalizer front. A single osgViewer::Viewer instance can already do multi-threaded, multiple screen output on a single system, so if you do just have a single system then this is the route to take, Equalizer won't add much to the mix other than more complexity. If you are running a cluster then it can probably be of greater help, but then you'll need to work out how you manage things sync'ing of the multiple data structures across the cluster. Robert.
