To solve your repomd.xml you need to uncomment a line in your
/etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo file.  Fedora Core dropped the Core from
their name so you should uncomment:
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/f$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable

You also should use the nvidia-graphics100 drivers and not the older
9755 drivers listed on Jarod's website.

Hope it helps!!
