Its not that complicated.
You are correct that each display is set either right or left.
It needs a 3D video card (such as nVidia) that has an additional L/R signal.
Without the 3D card, you just get all frames on the same OLED image.

The 3D functionality is a nice extra, but you don't need to use it.
The other main difference is that the 3D OLED is only 800 pixels wide, 
but the older SVGA+ is ~852 or something (for watching DVDs).

We've been driving the V-V OLED displays at SVGA/256-color with our ARM 
computers for ~3 years.

And we have a new product designed (but haven't bothered to build) that 
is an X-terminal (or VNC terminal) in a sub     3" square package that 
takes USB in and drives 15-pin VGA or SVGA out.
We'll probably build some once we have our SMT line operating downstairs.

Its intended as a companion product to an ultra-low-power personal 
computer that has no video out, but USB host and device ports (plus 
optional GPS, cell-radio, RS-232, RS-485, etc.) running Linux 2.6.12 on 
a 266 MHz 32-bit ARM-920T core.
That computer also has an SDIO slot for expansion, plus IrDA, and stereo 
audio IN and OUT (and a 2.5mm headset jack for standard cell-phone 
hands-free kits).

Just some of the new things we're building.

Brian
