I have another card: Matrox Mystique. Yes, I am using 2.4.0 kernel.
I suspect that my problem was connected with swapping:
after I enabled to swap/unswap/free swap by smaller portions
(using /etc/sysctl.conf), the problem completely disappeared.

(I have 24 Mb of physical RAM. I.e., a lot of swapping.)
