I'm not sure what this means -- the daemon advertises a single version
number, not two. If it says 2.00, then it supports only protocol 2. If
it says 1.99 then it supports 2 and 1.5. It can't support "1.99 and 2.00".

That would do it. If you changed that setting, have you restarted sshd
since changing it?
