If I got it right, this computer has a Intel GMA 3100 video adapter.
Is this correct?

On Tails 2.x it should use the Intel X.Org video driver, that is not
included in Tails 3.0~beta1 so far, because for most hardware it's not
the best choice anymore. But it seems that the new set of drivers (kernel
+ modesetting X.Org video driver) doesn't support your
hardware correctly.

Can you please test another experimental ISO, that should land there
within 24 hours:
