 ## Hardware
 
-Works with [Raspberry Pi versions 1, 2 & 3](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/). The 3 series is recommended, as it's the most powerful, and comes with built-in WiFi (though both [official](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-usb-wifi-dongle/) and [off-the-shelf](https://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters) USB WiFi dongles can work equally well).
+Works with [all Raspberry Pi versions](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/). Versions 3 and 4 are recommended, though, since the smaller ones can be a bit underpowered for rendering complex dashboards. The 3 and 4 also come with built-in WiFi, which is convenient (though both [official](https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-usb-wifi-dongle/) and [off-the-shelf](https://elinux.org/RPi_USB_Wi-Fi_Adapters) USB WiFi dongles can work equally well).
 
 Make sure you have a [compatible 4+ GB SD card](http://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards). In general, any Class 10 card will work, as they're fast enough and of high enough quality.

 Adding these options will allow you to mix secure (i.e. HTTPS) origins with insecure ones (you need to specifically white-list them). Sometimes you need stuff like this to pull together all the bits and pieces of your dashboard from different origins. We're not saying you should. But you can.
 
+## Controlling the kiosk remotely

+Sometimes you need to do basic remote adjustments, like changing the URL that's displayed.

+- If you need a lot of flexibility, [you can install VNC](https://github.com/futurice/chilipie-kiosk/issues/38#issuecomment-442031274) to get a full remote desktop
+- If you just need to set the URL, you can SSH over (not enabled by default; see above), and e.g. [run something like](https://github.com/futurice/chilipie-kiosk/issues/71#issuecomment-522035239): `export DISPLAY=:0; xdotool key F11 sleep 1 key ctrl+l sleep 1 type 'https://google.com'; xdotool sleep 1 key KP_Enter; xdotool key F11`. Very crude. Very effective.

 ## Replacing the boot graphics
 
 The image that's displayed while the kiosk is starting can be changed by just replacing `~/background.png`.

 <h2 id="username-and-password"><a class="header-link" href="#username-and-password"></a>Username and password</h2>
 <p>If you need to login to a shell, the default username and password are <code>pi</code> and <code>raspberry</code>, as is tradition for Raspberry Pi. The <code>pi</code> user also has <code>sudo</code> access.</p>
 <h2 id="adjusting-your-resolution"><a class="header-link" href="#adjusting-your-resolution"></a>Adjusting your resolution</h2>
 <p>If the display auto-detection fails and chooses a funky default resolution for you, <a href="https://www.opentechguides.com/how-to/article/raspberry-pi/28/raspi-display-setting.html">there&#39;s a few things you can do</a> to try and fix that.</p>
+<h2 id="rotating-your-screen"><a class="header-link" href="#rotating-your-screen"></a>Rotating your screen</h2>
+<p>Press <code>Ctrl + Alt + F3</code> to get to a virtual terminal, and use your favorite editor to open <code>/boot/config.txt</code> (remember to use <code>sudo</code>). Add a line to the end of the file:</p>
+<ul class="list">
+<li><code>display_rotate=0</code> to disable rotation</li>
+<li><code>display_rotate=1</code> to rotate 90° clockwise</li>
+<li><code>display_rotate=2</code> to rotate 180°</li>
+<li><code>display_rotate=3</code> to rotate 90° counter-clockwise</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Save the file, and <code>sudo reboot</code>.</p>
+<p>Note that on the Pi 4, you&#39;ll need to disable the <code>dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d</code> line in <code>/boot/config.txt</code> for this to work. But then that <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/dw1376/dtoverlayvc4fkmsv3d_causes_display_to_shift_right/">may cause other issues</a>. This is hopefully fixed in a future Raspbian release.</p>
+<p>Exotic screens may require a bit more fiddling. See issues <a href="https://github.com/futurice/chilipie-kiosk/issues/41">#41</a> and <a href="https://github.com/futurice/chilipie-kiosk/issues/58">#58</a> for ideas.</p>

 <p>The image that&#39;s displayed while the kiosk is starting can be changed by just replacing <code>~/background.png</code>.</p>
-<p>To change the default chilipie-kiosk boot graphics to a nice doge, for example, try <code>wget -O background.png bit.ly/2w1P4Il</code>.</p>

 <p>By default, the browser window is hidden for a few seconds after boot, to give the page time to load. You can increase (or decrease) this delay in <code>~/.xsession</code>.</p>

+<p>If your kiosk is interactive, and you&#39;re using a touch screen as a display, you may need to calibrate it. Press <code>Ctrl + Alt + F3</code> to get to a virtual terminal, and type:</p>
