Maybe, you switch your computer to external screen output (sometimes there is a button Fn + F7 to do it). And your OS and X server try to synchronize things using the settings of this output which doesn't exist, hence the problem... What should be done : - try to switch again to external screen (do the same manipulation once or twice, sometime there is settings for LCD -> External -> External + LCD), - try to replug your computer to the external screen.
