I am trying to do a full graphics virtualisation. I have a intel i7 CPU 920 . In the intel spces sheet it says yes for Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). But I am not able to confirm if the processor supports 'full Graphics Virtualisation technology' or GVT -g for short.
Similarly I am not able to confirm if it supports GVT -s or GVT -d. Is there a way to know what it supports? I am running Ubuntu 14.04

No. GVT is only supported in Intel CPUs >=4th generation (ex: i5-4200u).
If you have another graphics card (nVidia/AMD) you can use their virtualization technologies.
3Intel GVT-g is only supported by 4th generation processors on XENGT. For KVMGT, only 5th generation processors.
Also to note that 4th generation processors are not actively supported by the developers. If they stop working due to a regression, support will not be reinstated.
