some questions (3.7.0)

Hello, i am new to Porteus-Kiosk and have a few questions that have come up in my week of testing.
does the Proxy exceptions support cidr notation as below: (i am curious because i see these calls still in the proxy logs, so i am inclined to think it is not working)
proxy_exceptions=192.168.1.0/24 domain.local
During wizard setup, i can test the screen rotation feature and it works, however once kiosk is installed, it fails to rotate the screen.
This mostly is happening with intel chipset graphics chips, (tested with onboard VGA and DVI). I have seen it comes across in the config as VGA-1 and VGA1 but it doesn't work except in the wizard.
After installing a video card, the rotation works properly, but i hate having to get extra hardware to utilize these machines.
i am also having an issue with proxy authentication, backed by active directory. We are using a Sophos UTM for our web filtering, but when i start up Kiosk, i get prompted for credentials.
once entered (same credentials that i have in the config file) all the tabs work until reboot/session restart. (tested with chrome and firefox browsers)
I have also tried the windows login notation in the config file proxy=DOMAIN\user:pass@proxy:port but this does not work either.
When the kiosk is in "digital signage" mode (i.e. no address bar), the restart session button in the ctl-alt-del menu never brings up a new session, screen just goes black until reboot. (tested with firefox browser)
(edit to add: this seems only to be an issue when the screen is rotated?)
Is it possible to select which options in the shutdown menu show up?
Thanks for any and all answers, just getting started with porteus-kiosk and am excited for the possibilities.
