 I was given a 22-inch Viewsonic monitor. 
 CRT or LCD?
 Viewsonic made both. The 22" CRTs were high end and very nice. The
 22"
 LCDs are generally pretty ordinary.
 If it is a CRT, is the face of the display completely flat?
 If LCD then it might be in some self-test mode waiting for a signal.
 What happens if you feed it? 
It was apparently indeed in a self-test mode. When I fed it, it
actually worked well. When I looked at it using my video configuration
in KDE on Debian 12, it claims to be a Viewsonic VX2262wm.
