Thanks, uwe.  I've been using the pages you list as a guide.

On a working (with PPS pulses) system:

cat /etc/modules contains "pps-gpio"

lsmod shows:

pps_ldisc used by: 2
pps_gpio used by: 1
pps_core used by: 4 pps_gpio,pps_ldisc


On a system with nothing connected to the PPS:

cat /etc/modules contains "pps-gpio"

lsmod shows:

pps_gpio used by: 0
pps_core used by: 1 pps_gpio


I'm unsure how to interpret the difference, or what pps_ldisc does.
