Sentry Crash Report:

Description Leo 2004-09-11 00:33:11 UTC 
Version:           0.9 - 1.0.2 (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.4 
OS:                Linux

After some minutes, X completly freeze. Amarok continue to play, applications don't crash. I can remotely connect and kill X to work again. I have this problem since amarok 0.9 to 1.0.2 on mandrake 10 and now on gentoo, with kde 3.2.2 to 3.3. If I use arts or xine output, the crash is the same. Same with Xfree 4.3, 4.4 and now X.org.

My hardware is a dell inspiron 5150 with and nvidia geforec fx 5200 and the nvidia driver.

In fact I'm not completly exact in the report above, X freeze even if amarok don't play but is only open.

Leo, 

1) It's highly unlikely that amaroK actually causes these freezes. More likely, amaroK exposes a bug in your X-Server setup.

2) Development on amaroK 1.0.x has stopped. Please try to reproduce the problem with a CVS-Snapshot from http://amarok.kde.org

I have just take the CVS snapshot right now, compile it, and... after 2 
minutes, complete freeze of X... like every release I have try... My X 
config was from Mandrake when I used it and now it's mine from gentoo. The 
config is stable and well tested since month, amarok is the ONLY apps (and 
I use lot of apps) that have freeze X and every time I use it. The only 
thing that change it's the time before the freeze... The only things that 
is possible is a problem with my specific hardware or an nvidia related 
problem (maybe I will try to compile amarok without opengl to see if there 
is a difference). I can't test X.org without the nvidia drivers, my laptop 
screen don't work without it. I have checked CPU and memory use of amarok 
during the crash, nothing special...but X use 99% of CPU...

I have now still try without opengl, and after without some X extensions, nothing change always crash on my dell inspiron 5150.

Perhaps you can tell us the last few debug messages shown when you run amarok from a Konsole?
