Read screen's man page, in particular the VIRTUAL TERMINAL section. 
Here's a good snippet:

     When screen tries to figure out a terminal name for itself, it
     first looks for an entry named "screen.<term>", where <term> is
     the contents of your $TERM variable. If no such entry exists,
     screen tries "screen" (or "screen-w" if the terminal is wide (132
     cols or more)). If even this entry cannot be found, "vt100" is
     used as a substitute.

So, find out what termcaps you have available. You may have a 
"screen.xterm" or something similar that would work better.
