Hi all,

@Wladimir, Thank you very much for you kind response.

I am planning to boot older version of linux kernel(2.6) on Karo board 
and use reverse engineering tools to get any GPU related settings.

Please let me know what are the important settings I have to look into, 
that may be useful to address the issue of GPU chip ID becoming zero.

Regards,
    Abhijit
