You might have to go for xming. This is easy one.
As i understand you correct, you are opening a putty session and triggering a script.
Im assuming, you are using a windows desktop where this putty tool is available for you and the port 22 to the host you are connecting is allowed to this windows desktop.

You might need to install xming in this windows desktop in that case.

Download link :
Xming X Server for Windows download | SourceForge.net

Installing and configuring :
http://www.geo.mtu.edu/geoschem/docs/putty_install.html

Once you are done,
-> Start your xserver in your desktop
-> Click Xlaunch - next - next -next - done
-> Open putty
-> Provide the SSH informations ( Display parameter as localhost:<xserver display parameter> and allow x11 forwarding )

and trigger your script and it should work.

Please make sure .Xauthority file is getting created in your home dir
You may need to install other packages like,
xauth
xterm

I will provide you some commands for required packages and it defnitely works

Code:

yum -y install xauth* xorg-x11-server-Xorg* xorg-x11-server-utils* xorg-x11-drv* xorg-x11-glamor* xorg-x11-xinit* xorg-x11-drivers* xterm xclock xeyes firefox

UEP(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    UEP(4)

NAME

     uep -- eGalax touchscreen driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines into your kernel configuration file:

	   device uep
	   device usb

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   uep_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The uep driver provides support for the eGalax onscreen touch panels.

     The driver is stub.  It just probes and attaches to USB device, creates device entry and feeds reassembled packets from the hardware to it.

     To get mouse working in X(7), one needs to install ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-egalax.

FILES

     uep creates a blocking pseudo-device file, /dev/uep0.

SEE ALSO

     usb(4), loader.conf(5), xorg.conf(5) (ports/x11/xorg), egalax(4) (ports/x11-drivers/xf86-input-egalax).

AUTHORS

     The uep driver was written by Gleb Smirnoff <glebius@FreeBSD.org>.

BUGS

     uep can't act like sysmouse(4), since the latter does not support absolute motion events.
