On my machines both under F14 and F15 the cursor positions are
displayed. vi is really vim. This could be set by a :set command but I
can't find the right one when I looked quickly. On my machine as I said
the correct option is set by default.

You can try :set all to find the option and place it in the .vimrc file
in your home directory.
