Is it possible to use haiku's vmware video driver in beos 5 pe? I tried to copy driver and accelerant binaries to respective folders but screen remains in b&w mode.

It works in R5 here, which version of VMware do you use? Check the VGA Card ID in Devices, the driver only supports the 405 at the moment. If it's 710, I can try and add support for it. If it's 405, enable serial logging ("serial_debug_output true" in ~/config/ settings/kernel/drivers/kernel) and set up VMware with a serial port dumping into a file, you might see something useful in there.
