I'll look into this more on Monday. I should have mentioned that the workstation in question had the proprietary nVidia graphics driver, and that pyMol and Coot worked just fine before someone updated the system software with yum.

thanks,

A friend updated software on his Fedora 14 workstation within the
last couple days, and now Coot and pyMol both fail to work. Coot
complains that it can find neither the double-buffered visual nor a
single-buffered visual. Has anyone else encountered this (yet)? Which
packages are the most likely suspects?

I'm using both on fedora 15 without problems.  Your error message
suggests an issue with opengl - are the appropriate drivers/modules
available?  "glxinfo | grep render" should say something like:

direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GTS 450/PCI/SSE2
