+This module implements two functions:
 
 def error(message):
-       '''Displays a fatal error to the user'''
-       if qt_available:
-               QtGui.QMessageBox.critical(None, 'Fatal error', message)
-       else:
-               subprocess.check_call(["zenity", "--error", "--text="+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'''
-       if qt_available:
-               return PositionSelection(internalResolutions, externalResolutions).run()
-       else:
-               return zenity_run(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.
