Yes, and yes. Here's my current (working) configuration, using 1.0-4363:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Generic Video Card"
        Driver          "nvidia"
        Option          "NvAGP"                 "1"  
        Option          "RenderAccel"           "false"
        Option          "CursorShadow"          "true"
        Option          "CursorShadowAlpha"     "64"
        Option          "CursorShadowXOffset"   "2"
        Option          "CursorShadowYOffset"   "2"
        Option          "IgnoreEDID"            "true"
EndSection
