Provided the tf transforms are correctly set up and the scanner is outputting laser_scan data, this should work. A few things you could check:
Check that tf is working
Do you see other visualization elements in the camera view? (i.e. the grid, the arrow pointer when giving a 2D nav goal etc.)
Have you set the fixed frame in rviz properly?
Does it work with other robots/launch files? The Turtlebot or hector_quadrotor gazebo simulations for instance can be used to quickly check that.

Is your camera calibrated correctly? The camera view rectifies images, so this has to be correct.
Finally, be sure that you have set the "Overlay Alpha" of your camera view to something like 0.5.
