+This module implements two functions:

 
 def error(message):
 
 def error(message):

-       '''Displays a fatal error to the user'''
-       QtGui.QMessageBox.critical(None, 'Fatal error', message)
+    This function displays the error message to the user in some appropriate fassion

 def setup(internalResolutions, externalResolutions):

-       '''Returns a ScreenSetup instance, or None if the user canceled'''
-       return PositionSelection(internalResolutions, externalResolutions).run()
+    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.
