How to use screen:

screen -S ScreenName #starts a new screen session

"ScreenName" can be anything, it's just a name that you can use later to get back to it. This will give you a new shell. Start cgminer there.
Ctrl-A, then Ctrl-D will exit the new shell and will keep cgminer running.

You can now disconnect/exit SSH etc.
To get back to your cgminer:
screen -r ScreenName

To verify that it's indeed running in the background use this:
ps auxwww | grep cgminer

I have noticed that after you exit cgminer the screen session occasionally does not display new commands. I usually just exit and start a new screen session.
