How Can I disable Screen Zoom on new MacBook?

I'm getting quite frustrated with Safari and the new MacBook buttonless trackpad. Because I still use my thumb to "click", I am frequently triggering the screen zoom feature. It is really annoying. I can't seem to find a way to force zoom to be completely disabled.

Anyone know how to do this? Otherwise, I am going to have to return this computer.

24" iMac 2.4GHz, 4GB RAM; MacBook Air; 8GB iPhone, Mac OS X (10.5)

Nice job - any way to get that to work with the latest Firefox beta?

It is the 3.1 beta. Don't know how trivial a deal it is, otherwise I expect the trackpad features to be in 3.1 final.

I modified it to handle Firefox as well. You can download it here: http://www.cubeyellow.com/downloads.html
