weston rdp black screen

[Jean-Francois Dagenais]

I am using weston master, freerdp master, and wayland-protocols master 

I am launching like this:

weston --rdp4-key ~/devel/weston/key/rdp-security.key --backend=rdp-backend.so --debug

Connecting using 640x480x32, black screen.

Can anyone confirm rdp-backend is actually working??
