If you connect the ViewSonic using the digital cable you lose the 
ability to change Contrast/Brightness and any Manual Adjustments to the 
image size/position; only connecting using the analog connection can one 
get these controls back.

The only way to control the monitor when using digital, therefore, is 
thru the software - in this case playing around with the gamma setting 
in Personal Settings (in Suse).

Cheers.
