The flapping only affects the reporting panels at the top of the
screen; it doesn't affect the PPS display, which is in the packet
window.  Look for lines scrolling by in the packet window that look
like this:

----------------------------------- PPS ------------------------------------

I built gpsd from git, and ran it on my production box, which has a device:
http://www.sureelectronics.net/goods.php?id=99

I believe it is a MTK chip.  It is detected as "Generic NMEA" currently.

Running the git gpsd, and the git gpsmon, does not show any PPS lines

Please see:

1. gpsd-3.10.txt : This is the output of gpsd.  Even at D 5, I see no PPS messages
2. gpsmon-3.10.txt : This is the output of gpsmon.  Note no PPS lines
3. gpsd-ntp.txt : And yet, PPS _is_ working. 
   

 

Again, this is on a device connected via Serial port, no USB.
