If you are actually in a wayland session you need to set your resolution via the tools of the compositor you've setup (it's likely to be better supported in a xorg session regardless so that's something you should try). You might also want to read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VM … t_problems

If you also watched a video to do the installation in the first place you should follow the rest of that article instead .
