+This module implements two functions:
 
 def error(message):
-       QtGui.QMessageBox.critical(None, 'Fatal error', message)
-       raise Exception(message)
+    This function displays the error message to the user in some appropriate fassion
+
+def setup(internalResolutions, externalResolutions):
+    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.
+    The user should be asked about his display setup preferences.
+    The function returns None if the user cancelled, and an instance of dsl.ScreenSetup otherwise.
