What desktop environment are you using?
Please post your .conkyrc
What does it say when you run conky from a terminal?

Take a look at our screenshot threads for conky configs. To autstart your conky put this in your ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh

sleep 2 && conky -c /path/to/conkyfile &

Yes there alot of nice setups in the conky screenshot thread. It all depends on what you want to show.

Some other ideas:
conky colors

conky box
