It's because in the screenmode.prefs the Cvision screenmode is still
mentioned as selected screenmode. IPrefs doesn't find the corresponding
monitor driver and so comes up with a little choice of *native* Amiga
screenmodes for which exists a (generic?) monitor driver in the ROM.
To get rid of the requester the file screenmode.prefs in ENVARC:Sys/ has to
be deleted so the resident monitor driver is chosen at once. At least,
that's how I encountered it in earlier days when playing with my setup.
