Get arch linux to autoresize screen on Virtualbox

Hi all, installed arch 64 bits, with Plasma (Wayland) as it comes by default. Then installed virtualbox-guest-utils, but still no autoresize (resolution sticks to 800x600). The option is enabled on Virtualbox (Machine -- autoresize guest display)
Changing resolution manually from Display configuration does work.

Any help?

It is not clear in your post. Did you install Archlinux as guest in virtualbox? If so refer to this.

Yes, I've installed arch as guest in Virtualbox with Windows 10 host. Used archintall.

It does not work. Enabled, rebooted, loaded all modules, still doesn't work.

Found the culprit. Auto-resize guest works with Plasma (X11) but NOT with Plasma (Wayland).
