Hum, I wonder what the issue could be then. I'm also using a fully updated arch box right now. What happens when I first boot the system and login to a normal user account, I run speakupconf and no speakup parameters change. When I login as root, speakupconf works fine. When I try and update any speakup parms manually from normal user, that's when I get a "permission denied" error. I don't need to change any options on speakupconf, do I? Oh, and when I mean update speakup parms, I mean echoing an appropriate value into the /sys/accessibility/speakup/* logical files.
