Scott,

i'm guessing you do have lircd running since you were able to get irw
to run.  you may want to try killing mythfrontend and lircd then
restarting lircd with the -n option 'lircd -n'.  then restart
mythfrontend and see if lircd accepts mythfrontend as a client.  then
start irw and see if lircd accepts that as a client.
another thing you might look at is your lircrc file, i believe it's in
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc
if you reinstalled your system you may have inadvertantly blown away
your x10 configured lircrc file which may explain why you're not
getting any response from irw...
