Hi Jeff,

Ouch! 
Please:
 - Retry with 4.0~rc1 and the workarounds that apply to the brand of
   graphics cards you have:
   
https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/graphics/
   (For example, xorg-driver=intel, etc.)
 - Send a WhisperBack report from the version of Tails that works for
   you, so we can tell which hardware you have.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
