I can't help much, but I guess something is better than nothing.

I have a y510p with a single 750M, but I haven't looked into making the
NVidia card work, let alone being able to switch between it and intel.

The intel works for me with 

  VIDEO_CARDS="intel i965 v4l vesa"

I don't know if i965 is necessary, but I see this in xorg's log: 

  (II) intel(0): [DRI2]   DRI driver: i965
  (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized i965

Making the NVidia card work is still on the back burner for me;
eventually I'll get to it and post here about it.  In the meantime,
please do post anything you're able to find out.
