Cura, OpenGL and ASUS Graphics Card

 In this new computer I have the ASUS EAH 6450 graphics card, and I installed the latest Ultimaker Cura package, which gives me an error message about needing OpenGL 3.0 or better. This used to work in the old computer, and I note that the older Cura packages are also giving the same error. 

I tried Blender as an alternative, and it has the same error. 

I looked over the graphics cards that I have in the garage. 

NVidia Quadro 4 -VCG 4750xGL I found a review of it dated 2013, so it's pretty old.

The one in the old computer is aan ASUS EN210 silent/D1/1GD3/V2 dated 2009, so it's even older. But I might try Cura in that machine just to see if it works because it is a fresh install of Kubuntu  20.04.
