  I had some problems when I tried using my Picasso II board.  That was the
result of another format change in the grfmodes file I was using.  However,
it's been quite a while since I had used the Picasso II - I was using it on
a Zeus 040 board in my A2000 and the driver had some trouble at that time.
I don't know exactly when the last format change was made to grfconfig, so
that may not be your problem.
