NV_STEREO_IMAGE_SIGNATURE and DirectX 10/11 (nVidia 3D Vision)

I'm trying to use SlimDX and DirectX10 or 11 to control the stereoization process on the nVidia 3D Vision Kit. Thanks to this question I've been able to make it work in DirectX 9. However, due to some missing methods I've been unable to make it work under DirectX 10 or 11.

The algorithm goes like this:

1. Render left eye image
2. Render right eye image
3. Create a texture able to contain them both PLUS an extra row (so the texture size would be 2 * width, height + 1)
4. Write this NV_STEREO_IMAGE_SIGNATURE value
5. Render this texture on the screen

My test code skips the first two steps, as I already have a stereo texture. It was a former .JPS file, specifically one of those included in the sample pictures coming with the nvidia 3D kit. Step number 5 uses a full screen quad and a shader to render the stereoized texture onto it through an ortho-projection matrix. The sample code I've seen for DX9 doesn't need this and simply calls the StretchRect(...) method to copy the texture back onto the backbuffer. So maybe it is for this reason that is not working? Is there a similar method to accomplish this in DX10? I thought that rendering onto the backbuffer would theoretically be the same than copying (or StretchRecting) a texture onto it, but maybe it is not?

Here follows my code (slimdx): Stereoization procedure

static Texture2D Make3D(Texture2D stereoTexture)
{
// stereoTexture contains a stereo image with the left eye image on the left half 
// and the right eye image on the right half
// this staging texture will have an extra row to contain the stereo signature
Texture2DDescription stagingDesc = new Texture2DDescription()
{
    ArraySize = 1,
    Width = 3840,
    Height = 1081,
    BindFlags = BindFlags.None,
    CpuAccessFlags = CpuAccessFlags.Write,
    Format = SlimDX.DXGI.Format.R8G8B8A8_UNorm,
    OptionFlags = ResourceOptionFlags.None,
    Usage = ResourceUsage.Staging,
    MipLevels = 1,
    SampleDescription = new SampleDescription(1, 0)
};
Texture2D staging = new Texture2D(device, stagingDesc);

// Identify the source texture region to copy (all of it)
ResourceRegion stereoSrcBox = new ResourceRegion { Front = 0, Back = 1, Top = 0, Bottom = 1080, Left = 0, Right = 3840 };
// Copy it to the staging texture
device.CopySubresourceRegion(stereoTexture, 0, stereoSrcBox, staging, 0, 0, 0, 0);

// Open the staging texture for reading
DataRectangle box = staging.Map(0, MapMode.Write, SlimDX.Direct3D10.MapFlags.None);
// Go to the last row
box.Data.Seek(stereoTexture.Description.Width * stereoTexture.Description.Height * 4, System.IO.SeekOrigin.Begin);
// Write the NVSTEREO header
box.Data.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
staging.Unmap(0);

// Create the final stereoized texture
Texture2DDescription finalDesc = new Texture2DDescription()
{
    ArraySize = 1,
    Width = 3840,
    Height = 1081,
    BindFlags = BindFlags.ShaderResource,
    CpuAccessFlags = CpuAccessFlags.Write,
    Format = SlimDX.DXGI.Format.R8G8B8A8_UNorm,
    OptionFlags = ResourceOptionFlags.None,
    Usage = ResourceUsage.Dynamic,
    MipLevels = 1,
    SampleDescription = new SampleDescription(1, 0)
};

// Copy the staging texture on a new texture to be used as a shader resource
Texture2D final = new Texture2D(device, finalDesc);
device.CopyResource(staging, final);
staging.Dispose();
return final;
}

// The NVSTEREO header.
    static byte[] data = new byte[] {0x4e, 0x56, 0x33, 0x44,   //NVSTEREO_IMAGE_SIGNATURE         = 0x4433564e;

Thanks in advance!

I eventually managed to fix it. The key was in using the CopySubResourceRegion method on the stereoized texture back to the backbuffer, specifying its dimension (e.g.: 1920 x 1080 instead of 3840 x 1081).
