Assuming a Bourne-like shell:
if [ -n "${DISPLAY++}" ]; then
exec screen -m -c /my/config/file
fi
You may additionaly want to check whether you can connect to
that X server:
if xdpyinfo > /dev/null 2>&1; then
exec screen -m -c /my/config/file
fi
If by "under X" you mean, is the current pseudo terminal
controlled by a X terminal emulator, you can try:
if xwininfo -id "$WINDOWID" > /dev/null 2>&1; then
exec screen -m -c /my/config/file
fi
