Confused about getting XV11 laser data into rviz

edit

Okay, so I finally know enough about ROS to totally tie myself up in knots here. I've got my Neato laser up and running and pumping but data to the /scan topic but not seeing anything in rviz.

I'm running Groovy on a Beaglebone w/ Precise LTS (12.04).

I'm running rviz remotely on a separate laptop, also running Groovy on Precise LTS.

I have a Neato LIDAR hooked up to it, running the cwru-ros-pkg XV11 laser driver. rostopic shows the laser successfully publishing to a topic called "/scan":

ubuntu@arm:~$ rostopic list
/rosout
/rosout_agg
/scan
ubuntu@arm:~$

I'm getting data from rostopic echo on both the Beaglebone and the laptop I'm running rviz on:

armadilo@talon:~$ rostopic echo /scan
header: 
  seq: 15555
  stamp: 
    secs: 1367714272
    nsecs: 996305089

But nothing is showing up in rviz.

I'm using the cwru-ros-pkg xv11_laser_driver which publishes to the /scan topic, not sensor_msgs/LaserScan. I'm sure I'm missing a big chunk of something here but am not exactly sure what.

Any help from those who've been able to get data from their XV11 laser into rviz or other parts of the ROS stack would be appreciated.

Thanks! 'dillo
