I had Video Looper set up on a Pi Zero and a 3.5in tft from Waveshare. Everything was working great, but I wanted to rotate the orientation. Now every time I try to run it, I get a command screen that says

"Raspbian GNU/Linux 10raspberrypi ttyl2 raspberrypi login:"

and there is a flashing cursor.

Trying to hook up a keyboard and it doesn't let me type.

Try to connect via ssh and see if you can do things there. I noticed a similar thing over ssh, if you start the looper via the ssh session it will not display what you type anymore. Maybe this happens to the regular terminal as well...

Also it think the rotation can be changed in /boot/config.txt which is on a fat partition on the sd and can be read and edited on any other machine (windows) with an sd reader

I can still SSH in. I tried rotating the screen back, thinking maybe that would undo it and no dice. I've tried to startx and it will load up Raspbian, but the video looper never loads.

I take that back. I can no longer startx. I get this

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ startx

Okay, how did you rotate the screen? What's in the video looper (supervisor) logs?
