I am not using the bump/normal map as displacement. I am using a normal map as a bump...that is shown in the render...it works. What isn't working is the dismap, which is shown in the background,...It displaces now, there was some kind of Carrar glitch with that, but it won't apply to anything, but the entire object. So looks absurd. Yes it is mapped.

No need to think outside the box....
    Just make it invisible.
