I use Gnome 2.12.2 (last stable) and in logoff dialog is not Hibernate (Suspend) selection. How to setup it? I was searching web and I only found hibernate-script... Please help. Thanks.

if you emerge hibernate-scripts you can then run hibernate from the comamnd line
without them you can still
# echo -n "disk" > /sys/power/state

and if you want a GUI method, use the gnome power manager (from an overlay) or makea custom launch launch a hibernate command

Thanks. With hibernate-scripts I must have suspend2 patched kernel?

gnome power manager is not in portage. you could also use suspend2-sources and overlay portage.

look at this:
