With Insyde H2O BIOS you can't really hope for a mod and apart from that even in Aspire 5740G that has been released almost a year ago and uses modable Phoenix BIOS no one was able to make switchable graphics work yet.

Most likely no. It's tougher to mod the InsydeH20 BIOS than the Phoenix BIOS. As mentioned before, the 5740G laptop is a very popular laptop and it still has not been successfully modded to support switchable graphics.

Unfortunately I have to agree with aylafan- chances are very slim and that's an optimistic prediction.
