22 This module implements two functions:
25 This function displays the error message to the user in some appropriate fassion
27 def setup(internalResolutions, externalResolutions):
28 Both arguments are lists of (width, height) tuples of resolutions. You can use dsl.res2user to obtain a user-readable representation of a resolution tuple.
29 The user should be asked about his display setup preferences.
30 The function returns None if the user cancelled, and an instance of dsl.ScreenSetup otherwise.
