Exclamation Picasso96: Could not create graphics board context for 'Spectrum'

After finally managing to build a working A4000 out of two semi-broken ones, I only have a few minor issues to sort out. One of them is that when I boot I get an error when the P96 monitor loads:
Picasso96: Could not create graphics board context for 'Spectrum',
please check your Picasso96 installation!
I've recreated all the Spectrum graphics modes in Picasso96Mode and the card appears to be working just fine. I suspect it's due to the fact that the card got swapped around during surgery. Does anyone know how to fix it, or should I just nuke & pave P96?

In Picasso96Mode there is a menu option "attach settings to". There you have to choose your gfx board. Did you do this?

Yep, it's attached. The card is working just fine, I have my WB in 800x600. It's just that annoying message at bootup.

And you have just one P96 monitor driver in Devs/Monitors?

And you run the monitor driver only once in startup-sequence or user-startup or WBStartup?

Yes. The configuration worked just fine before I swapped motherboards.

In the List command's format string in startup-sequence.

Hello.

I'm having a similar problem with my Piccolo-SD64 card.
This requester is annoying.
How did you get rid of it?

Also, it seems that programs (when they raise a requester) in WBStartup prevent Intuition to switch to the GFX-card context.

Anyone know how to fix that?

I've seen this happen when there were two board references in Devs:Picasso96Settings. If you open Picasso96Mode does it show two boards there?

No, there is only one card reference.
Also only one 'Monitor' driver loaded at startup.
Weird.
