Unfortunately I can't solve your problem but hopefully I can clarify 
your understanding of what is going on a bit.  When you press 
CTRL-ALT-Fx and get a text console it is important to note that this is 
_not_ an xterm.  It is a local console on your _client_ where the DVD 
drive is installed, which is why you can see it there.

Conversely, your X desktop is running on the _server_ but is displaying 
on your _client_.  Since the DVD drive is not attached to the _server_ 
you cannot see it there, where the xterm is running.

Depending on what you want to do with the DVD you can may be able to 
install a localapp and run that to access the DVD.
