Hi,

I've just sorted this out. 

Although I followed the guide I linked mostly, I did read this page regarding 
"known issues" and used the configure flags recommended there:
http://ml.linuxpps.org/wiki/index.php/LinuxPPS_NTPD_support

That page has bad advice it appears. After recompiling with the originally 
recommended flags, I get the desired PPS output on ntpq.

It does feel like a bug though. Clearly I missed the flags required for both 
driver 20 and 22 in my configure script. If I put 22 in my ntp.conf, I got an 
event telling me, and you know it's broken. With driver 20, it said "ok" and 
never did anything.

David, I tried alternating 20 and 22, they both work now for me. I didn't do 
anything special afaik.

That's helpful to know, Paul.  Do you mean "ports" rather than "boards",
or are you using an add-on board?  What modifications did you make to
the kernel to get the PPS detected?
