Unplugging the external monitor without disabling it from xrandr can
cause problems.

type:
xrandr

and you will see a list of the connected outputs:
LVDS, VGA, TMDS, TV (note: the names may vary).

The external screen should be represented by either TMDS or VGA while
your main screen should be LVDS.

Before you unplug the external screen just type this to disable it:
xrandr --output name_of_the_output --off 

and of course you will have to replace "name_of_the_output" with the name of 
the output. For example:
xrandr --output VGA --off 

then, if xrandr doesn't complain, you can unplug the external monitor.
