I am logging into a remote system via SSH using putty. When I try to
run 'screen' on the remote system I get the following error:
$ screen -x
Cannot open your terminal '/dev/pts/4' - please check.
I have tried running putty with the '-t' option in the command line
but it does not seem to make a difference. Could this be a putty
issue?

Seems more like an issue with the remote system (e. g., /dev/pts
not mounted properly.) What do the following commands say?
$ id -un
$ ls -l -- "$(tty)" /proc/self/fd/0
$ ls -ld -- /dev/pts/
$ grep -F -- pts < /proc/mounts

Solved: It works if I log in directly but not using 'su'.
