When I said "normal maps aren't supposed to be used with displacement" I meant that you can't use a normal map to displace your object... (well, you can but your not meant to.. you get poor results). I didn't mean you can't use Disp maps at the same time your using normal/bump maps..... this actually works very well, as the bump maps can help to highlight some of the finer detail.
sorry for the misunderstanding
