I had a GeForce2 MX200.
Today I bought a GeForce 6200 (PCI) for $50 which says it supports OpenGL 2.1.
Then when I did the Additional Drivers search:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia  
it came up with a lot more driver options to choose from, including 304, and recommended 'current'.
I selected Current, hit the Activate button, rebooted and now freewrl runs and I can see GLES2 stuff like the menu bar.
