Anyone know a way to force chromium, running in minimal kiosk mode, to perform a manual refresh? I haven't yet found one short of ssh.ing in and causing a reboot.

Please note it's only the very occasional manual refresh I need to force, not a regular period refresh.

Thanks,
Papadeltasierra.

Hi, I seem to remember having the same issues when setting up our pi's for system monitoring. I had a quick look through my pi notes and I think this is how I solved the issue.

Finally I figured out by myself.
I added '@unclutter -idle 0.1 -root' into /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart. Then the cursor is gone. When I need it, I just move the mouse then the cursor will show up again.

No real need to detach the console from the screen -
i would suggest simply using an app which runs in full-screen.
Anything which uses hardware-acceleration does paint on the top
