[Gianluca Renzi <icjtqr@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've just googled and I've found my video baord can support up to OpenGL
3.3. So I suppose the libGL in the Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS has the 3.3 support,
so the board.
Maybe the message referring to shaders is for another issue. But I had the
same even in Kicad 4 shipped with Ubuntu 16.04 PPC and even with Kicad 6
compiled from sources.
Anyway Kicad 5 & 6 are working very good now.

If you need more information please let me know.

Kindest regards,
Gianluca
