Please avail yourself of the information to be gained with USBView and
USBSnoop and simmilar tools used in conjunction with the factory provided
USB driver software for the MSwin environment.

Hav a look at hidmon, .
From its README:

With this programm you can control your "USB Monitor Control Class" compatible
display via USB. You don't need to play with your Monitors OSD
anymore.

It works great with my Eizo monitor, maybe it works for your ViewSonic,
too. You can't reprogram the front panel buttons, but you can change the
settings (inputs, color mode etc.).
