window by  'apt-get remove x-window-system' and again
rebooted, but now while booting it says starting xdm
and again there is flickering screen. so pleae help

If my guess is correct, everything is allright except that you need to configure your X with proper driver. To do this you need to tell us whether you are using xorg or xfree86. Assuming that you are using xorg packages do

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

if you are using xfree86, then I believe the command is

dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86
